[edit]

In relation to "Licensing Act 1872, an offence to be drunk and in charge of a bike, but also forbids drunkenness in pubs, and is therefore obsolete."

The Licensing Act 2003 (England & Wales) S.141, s.142 & s.143 covers drunkenness in pubs. It is illegal.

With regards to the bikes:

Section 30 Road Traffic Act 1988 says: "It is an offence for a person to ride a cycle on a road or other public place when unfit to ride through drink or drugs - that is to say - is under the influence of a drink or a drug to such an extent as to be incapable of having proper control of the cycle.

In Scotland a PC may arrest without warrant a person committing an offence under this section. There is no obligation for a cyclist to submit to a blood or urine alcohol test.
