Technically true. However nobody should be insane enough to complain about that when you take the sane option of taking a cab.
Unless you cause other problems (peeing in mailboxes or singing at the top of your voice at 3 in the morning for example). That sort of behavior will get you in trouble, drunk or not.
I have taken a bike home from a bar or a party about a hundred times. Years ago I was occasionally too drunk to not be able to walk, let alone in a straight line.
Never have the cops said anything about that, although I have met them on a few occasions while overly and clearly drunk.
Are the US so different from the Netherlands that the cops will arrest a quiet drunk walking home? Really?
