One guy says "it's no different than drinking in a limo"... except in the limo there is some amount of steel between the passengers and the road, even if the limo rolls over. Plus the driver is less likely to be distracted by the passengers.

If I am riding my bicycle on public roads I always wear a helmet. And I would never ride while being even the least bit tipsy.

Insurance rates for the operators of these things is about to go up substantially.
