In Montreal, I was riding my bike drunk and crashed pretty badly. I broke a tooth and was bleeding out of my mouth. I got up and kept riding home when a cop stopped me who was sitting next to his car monitoring pedestrian traffic. They took out their first aid kit, gave me some gauze, asked if I needed to go to the ER, then let me be on my way.

I feel like that wouldn't happen in the US. I was still very drunk.

And Montreal cops don't have that great a reputation, at least from what I've heard.

Only interaction I had with one was when they were handing out pamphlets about hiding your (white) headphone cords on the metro. I guess people were stealing iphones

In many states it's legal to ride a bicycle while drunk, so they probably would. In my state it counts as a DUI so they might arrest you.

Here's a PDF of the rules per state:

Yeah, it probably would. They would be interested in just how and why you got a bloody face. And even US cops carry basic medical supplies like a band-aid.

US cops aren't the best, but they can and do help with such things.
