The stats don't even measure the real cause of death in some cases. In America at least... deaths can be (and are) counted multiple times. A drunk, dying of heart failure, during a automobile accident, that occurs during a snow storm.... can actually be counted as having 4 different causes of death. As well as the death being counted 4 times.
If you separate children's bicycle deaths from adults. About half of the "adult" fatal bicycle deaths also are related to alcohol. Although I should point out that not ALL the alcohol was consumed by the cyclists. Once you remove the children's stat, and the drinking stat, cycling (for sober adults) gets amazingly safe.
Unfortunately... we don't have stats that might cast some light on the dangers of cycling to the local pub.
