As we all know, almost all parts of the world have very specific laws regarding drunk driving they specify a certain amount of blood alcohol content that is permissible to be a in state fit to drive. However, these laws are much less clearer when it comes to cycling under the influence. For example, the UK has cycling laws that prohibit riding a bicycle "when under the influence of drink or drugs, including medicine." However this does not specify a particular limit of blood alcohol content that is permissible, making it harder to enforce.
My question, therefore, is: as a tourist, are there any places in the world to be aware of where cycling while drunk is an offence that is clearly defined by law, and also has specific penalties associated with violations of such a law?

Do cyclists think they're above the law, and does it even matter?
