2. If a friend has been drinking and wants to ride their motorcycle, you should:

Let them.

Encourage them to take less-crowded roads.

Push their bike over.

Encourage friends to talk them out of riding.

Never let someone ride if they have had too much to drink. Do whatever you can to prevent them from riding. It can be helpful to recruit a group of friends to intervene and apply peer pressure to the person.
