Yeah, but my understanding is that even if you're drunk on horseback, you can still be arrested for DUI...Quoth tSubh Dearg View PostSkilled programmers aren't cheap. Cheap programmers aren't skilled.

Depends on the state and the definition of vehicle.Quoth mjr View PostYeah, but my understanding is that even if you're drunk on horseback, you can still be arrested for DUI...
Lowering the Bar has a category--DSUWI--replete with such things: a scooter, a motorized bar stool, a Christmas parade float... and yes, even a horse.

IIRC, in Ontario a bicycle doesn't count (horses on their own or hitched to buggies shouldn't either) but an e-bike does, because the specific piece of legislation refers to "having care and control of a MOTOR vehicle" while intoxicated.Quoth BPFH View PostDepends on the state and the definition of vehicle.

Had a mate done for underage drinking while riding a unicycle.

But I'm guessing it was the underage bit that got him in trouble.Quoth prjkt View PostLittle bit different here

I've been warned (here in the US) about bicycling under the influence. Passed a field sobriety, and honestly, I think the officer was more concerned about my safety than anything else, but (In Missouri, at the time) there was a statute on the books for it.

Years and years ago, when I was far younger and far more irresponsible, I managed to get myself arrested. I wasn't driving or even drunk, and I honestly can't remember why I got stopped in the first place, but I do remember that I had just hit Burger King and had gotten a couple of burgers. I was walking home with them when I got popped by the cops. As I said, I don't know why they stopped me, but the arrest was almost certainly for a bench warrant for me--I had a bad habit back them of getting a ticket, not going to court, and in the process getting both my license suspended a bench warrant issued for Failure To Appear, or FTA. In any case, I went to jail, and was forced to leave my bag of fast food burgers right there on the sidewalk.Quoth thehuckster View PostThe image of finding the burger he was so determined to grab in the trail of debris just made my day. I'm just picturing this field of twisted metal, with my sights focused on this innocent burger which was at least a small part of the cause of the accident (ignoring the much greater cause which is a tad more serious matter).
Fast forward to the next morning, when I finally got out of jail, and am riding the bus home. As the bus was going up that same main road, I looked out the window, and sure enough, there was that BK bag, seemingly untouched. Sad, sad, sad.
One of the funniest and oddest videos I've ever seen!Quoth tSubh Dearg View Post

I myself have ridden home on a bike from the bars hammered as all hell. But as I've said many times, you've gotta be a completely drunken clod to get pulled over on a bike in the first place! Any time I'm that damn drunk, I call a cab or crash at a friend's place downtown near the bars.
