I had a single beer with a good lunch one day while out riding. This happened years ago. I was about 60 miles from home. I drink bourbon, so I figured 1 beer wouldn't make a difference. I had it at the beginning of the lunch, finished it midway through. Drank water the rest of the meal. Rode home. Nothing eventful happened on the ride home but I could tell that I was not as sharp as I should be.
Never had a beer, or other traditional adult beverage, while out riding ever since. I save the booze for relaxing time after the ride. Might well be why I never participate in those group rides, poker runs, etc. They seem to go from bar to bar or terminate at a bar/event where the beer/booze is free flowing.
As with all my gear and other choices, these are my choices, I don't push my views on others, I don't care to change any laws or add restrictions, but I will state my opinions.
I avoid those rides as well as it's always the same thing.. about 25% ride with about 75% bar hangout. I will say, if I happened to feel at all compromised I wouldn't ride. That being said, it's pretty rare that I do even have the one if I'm riding. Stay safe!
... A 2.5 hr trip in the car took us around 5.5 hrs on the bike.
We went around all 5 Great Lakes, across the St Lawrence Seaway and 70+% of that was on 2 lane roads. We did a grand total of about 9 miles on the interstate, most of that was crossing the might Mac bridge. Gone for almost a month, that was last July.
Just outside San Antonio tonight. Going to downtown tomorrow then riding the Twisted Sisters out in the Texas Hill Country. Supposted to be a lot of nice riding out this way.
I...uhh...usually use my right hand for holes...
The real question is, do I need a tax stamp for my left hand to do finger guns?

Not unless your finger gun has a stock.The real question is, do I need a tax stamp for my left hand to do finger guns?
Looks like you are healing nicely. FWIW, I have a partially amputated left thumb, doesn't affect my riding and my finger gun, while functional is now a curio/relic.
