I finally figured it out. You're an American! Of course! That's
why you're so willing to say that it's Jay's fault that some pilot --
er, I mean airman -- did something stupid. Whatever happened to personal
responsibility? You know, people being responsible for their own
actions?

Look, pil--er--airmen know that they can't drink and fly. You are
suggesting that anybody who flies into Jay's party intending to keep on
flying the same day would absolutely not be able to stop themselves
from drinking a beer? Or perhaps that Jay would tie them down and
pour beer down their throat? No. Jay just had a party, and for those
people who were planning on staying over, or those people who weren't
flying, there was some beer available.

By your reasoning, FBOs shouldn't provide courtesy cars because
p--airmen might use them to drive into town and have a drink.

- awh

PS, who the hell says "airmen" anymore, anyway?
