You can’t get a DUI for riding a bike while drunk.
Quote:
Only drivers operating a motor vehicle can be charged with impaired driving. However, if an officer sees that you are under the influence of alcohol, you can be fined under different charges.
Depending on where and how an officer identifies that alcohol is impacting your ability to cycle safely, an officer can charge you with (and not limited to) the following infractions:
intoxication in a public place
consuming alcohol not in a licensed establishment or residence (if a cyclist has open alcohol in public)
operating a bicycle in a careless manner
