Drinking and driving

Okay, it was a learning experience for what should be an obvious lesson. I knew it was probably a dumb idea, but I still thought it could be done.
Basically, I thought I could buy a slurpee and then scooter a few blocks. I should point out that my scooter doesn’t have a cup holder. (Why would it?) It was a short distance. It was risky, but as long as I was careful, why couldn’t I?
Initial tests of holding it in one hand and using the right hand for acceleration and braking seemed to work. Then I got more confident and tried putting it on the seat between my legs. That was the mistake. As soon as I braked, even gently, it fell down to the floor. The lid did not stay on.
So I’ve traded the price of a slurpee for a learning experience and a sticky scooter. But I think I lost the lesson. I now think I know what to do, so we will be repeating this fiasco at some time in the future.
