Baking powder? Section 30 Road Traffic Act 1988 makes it an offence to be incapable or out of control. It doesn't make drinking & cycling illegal though.
What offence is it then?
ahhh wonderful pendantry. Drinking and driving a car technically isn't illegal either. Section 30, RTA 1988 however *does *make it an offence to cycle whilst unfit through drink or drugs. The offence is not "out of control" as you describe; it is "not capable of having proper control", a subtle and very subjective difference that could well see you commiting a criminal offence if you have a few shandies and cycle home.
