Well, if car drivers are not allowed to drive when they are drunk it is pretty the same for bike riders... Of course I'm not sure a bike rider will kill someone coz the biker was drunk but still the rider is dangerous for itself... and could be kill by a car driver... Take a cab, a bus or blag a lift....

Or if you know you are going to drink DON'T CYCLE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Whilst I'd agree it's probably not a good idea to cycle if you're completely bladdered (though can't say I never have), I reguarly ride after 4 or 5 pints but tend to use the cycle path which runs most of the way to the pub we use. Really don't see the problem.

Well this topic is cycling whilst drunk. As to my knowledge there is no B/A.L (Blood/Alcohol Limit) for cycling or a clinical definition of "being drunk" [please correct me if I am wrong on either point] each person needs to use their own judgement. IMHO 4 or 5 point over an evening for many would be nothing (unless we are talking Special Brew or the like) but for a few it may cause the "Superhuman" morphing mentioned earlier.

and when you do fall off it's doesn't hurt half as much when you're pissed.

Staggering home, the headlights throw a shadow up and upon
Friends and loved-ones that have done no wrong,
But no longer mean anything to me.
Oh am I mumbling on, into a crystal glass that echoes a song?
The enticement invites you along a path of exterior colour.
[...]
Oh, Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost,
Giving her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings.
Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost,
Giving her my utmost, spilling out my deepest feelings.
Now all I want to do is snuggle up to you.
A night-cap in the early morning dew.
