If you wait an hour for each drink before riding, what should you expect?

You will feel completely sober
You will still feel impaired
Side effects may remain
You will have increased reflexes

The correct answer is: Side effects may remain

Waiting an hour for each drink before riding does not guarantee that all side effects of alcohol consumption have subsided. While the body metabolizes alcohol over time, various factors such as the amount consumed, your body weight, metabolism, and overall health can influence how alcohol affects you. Even after waiting, some side effects, such as decreased coordination, slower reaction times, or impaired judgment, may linger. This is particularly crucial when considering activities that require full cognitive and physical capabilities, like riding a motorcycle. Understanding the effects of alcohol on the body is essential for safe riding practices. Even if someone feels mostly sober after a significant period has passed, subtle impairment may still affect their riding abilities.
