A guy I worked with broke his neck in a one-bike accident while intoxicated. Luckily for him, his spinal cord remained intact, but it made me reconsider.

There is a big difference between biking while drinking and while intoxicated. .08 or .10 are both pretty high levels of alcohol- certainly more than two or three beers over an hour or two. I now live in a country where the legal limit is .02 !! People worry about driving to work the day after a party.
