Cycling drunk is technically illegal, but often unenforced in the Netherlands. You should see the thousands of obviously 'drunk' people leaving festivals on bikes, under the eyes of the police.

You have to be careful about where you park you bike around drunk people. I locked my bike up in Leidseplein once, and when I came back, somebody had barfed on my bike seat!

achenet: The officer will direct you to the separate bike lanes for Ketamine and LSD.

Correct. Police prefer people drunk cycling than drunk in the car.
Fun fact: you can lose your car driving license if you are drunk when cycling. But you can't lose it if you don't have one!
In the Netherlands, that is not the case. The worst they can do is give you a fine.
Can someone easily renounce their drivers license in advance?
It's okay officer, I'm not drunk, I just had a bunch of ketamine and some LSD.
