Yes, you would still be charged with being in charge of a vehicle while over the limit.
I know someone who got done for it.

Of course. Section 30 Road Traffic Act 1988 says: "It is an offence for a person to ride a cycle on a road or other public place when unfit to ride through drink or drugs - that is to say - is under the influence of a drink or a drug to such an extent as to be incapable of having proper control of the cycle.
I once saw a old guy get pulled over for 'speeding' on a bicycle while coasting down a water bridge with a speed limit of 5mph.

It's not a "breathalyser" offence.

Yes there is. You're in charge of a vehicle on the public highway and It is an offence to drink and drive. You will be treated in the same way as if you were driving a car.

I heard of a man being arrested for drunk riding of a horse!! He was passed out and the horse was safely walking home with him in the saddle. Everything related to being drunk seems to be an arrestable offence.

Yes, if you are riding. No breathalyser, but up to the opinion of the arresting officer, and of course no ban. Otherwise drunk in public covers it.

I think that would be covered under public intoxication. But you never know, if a bicycle is considered a licensed street vehicle then it could be considered DUI.

Yes definitely. I've seen it on those 'police video' TV shows, and there was an item about it in the news a few months ago.
