Sorry Katsanos,
I kinda agree with the law here. Alcohol and driving don't mix. And if a
fine does not have the effect maybe this does.
In Holland when you do more than 30kmph to fast for the second or third
time they confiscate your bike as well. In some cases you can get it back
by paying a couple of thousand guilders (half as much in dollars).
If you are caught drunk while driving they can even take your drivers
license. And tel you you're not allowed to drive for, oh well, let's say a
couple of years.
I think the States has even more strict laws.

You're not a guy that rides when you have been drinking, right ?
