That might be a counterproductive fear. Here's a study that
found that during a 3-year period (1995-1998), driving while
intoxicated was a factor in only 4% of NYC bicyclist fatalities.

I can tell you from personal experience that there are plenty of drunken
drivers on the roads here in rural Minnesota. You simply would not believe
some of the accidents we have around here due to drunken drivers just plain
running right over cyclists.
