I only have anecdotal evidence, but offer the heuristic that most &quot;drunk enough to be dangerous&quot; bicyclists can&#x27;t ride fast enough to maim anyone -- and if they&#x27;re riding down a hill, <i>they&#x27;re</i> much more likely to be maimed.<p>There&#x27;s an inherent barrier to entry that makes drunk biking difficult enough to limit those who can actually do it. Like how often do you see someone drunk on a road bike with clips? How many drunk people bike on busy roads where <i>they&#x27;re</i> more likely to get killed than the guy in an air conditioned hunk of metal on wheels?<p>A reasonable person&#x27;s analysis might conclude that it&#x27;s better to say, &quot;hey, let&#x27;s bike to the bar&quot; that&#x27;s 4 miles away rather than &quot;let&#x27;s drive,&quot; because statistically you&#x27;re as&#x2F;more likely to fall down and injure yourself as if you&#x27;d walked, and will harm society much less than if you&#x27;d decided to pilot a machine that requires a fraction of the bodily coordination to get from A to B.
