Mind giving a source? Me and thousands of other university students in here would like to disagree.

It's against the law in many places in the US as well, but I've never heard of it enforced. I'm sure most people would rather have drunks on bikes than cars.

I suspect the main reason is to ensure the driver of a car is not liable if they hit a drunk cyclist.

It’s illegal but rarely enforced. If you hit a person while biking drunk you will likely be in a world of shit.

Unlikely unless you accidently kill /injure some one and then only if the family has a lot of $ for a private prosecution.
