Also in the past few years the AMA has stated that red wine is good
for the heart (based on some studies of people in Italy). Recently
they have changed their recommendations to a couple of Oz's of alcohol
a day to get the benefits and reduce heart attacks.

So alcohol is not the evil portrayed in this thread. If does have some
socially redeeming values.

No one here doubted that, but it doesn't bear on the question of drinking
and flying. Sleep is good for you too, but that doesn't mean you should do
it while piloting a plane.
