      Where I live, you can get a DUI and lose your driver’s license if using a bicycle drunk.

      Not that I agree with it. Not that I’ve ever seen it enforced. But the law is there.

        Where I live you can’t get a DUI on a bike, no limit, but if you’re too drunk to be able to operate it while trying to operate it in traffic, you’re endangering others, which is a traffic violation and will possibly cause you to lose your licence.

        Or I mean, that used to be the case, actually, but now I suddenly recall it may have been amended in the past few years, entirely because of the rent-a-scoots, which are comparable to bikes and which everyone used to take home after bars. And still prolly do. Now they’ve limited the speed to 16kph at night though. Helps, some, I guess, but is really annoying if you’re sober and want to ride one at night.
