It's not the opinions of the car drivers that matter, but those of the police that might spot you: I got a Breathalyzer test and a 70 EUR ticket for doing just that on a bicycle in a mid-sized town in Germany on a Sunday evening, still light out. The Breathalyzer probably happened because "running" a red light after a minute at a dead stop probably looked particularly crazy.

Nevertheless I've found police in general not to care too much about what cyclists do. Once when I was cycling while completely wasted, a cop simply told me to walk my bike the rest of the way home. Which I did.
