I used to drink and ride every time I went on a night out - didn't think anything of it despite being very safety conscious during my daily commute.
It makes me cringe the states I've cycled home in. The last time I did it I'd drank well over ten pints and woke up on my lawn with no recollection of the cycle home. My 1972 wheels were also never as straight as they'd been after that night.
I've had so many near misses this year on my commute that it's really opened my eyes to how stupid it is to cycle on roads with less than all your wits about you so I will never cycle drunk again.
