After a few, I think it's just fine and perhaps better than driving. I was pulled over on my bike one night by CPS after 3-4 pints and after a few questions to make sure I wasn't gooned they wished me a safe ride home.
After a few too many, it's a bad idea. Just as in a car, it's way too easy to lose judgment and over-estimate your abilities. In my mis-spent youth I rode into the back of parked car at about 35 km/h. Long night in the emergency room.
