Default I had 2 DUI's about 6 years ago, is it realistic for me to become a commercial pilot?

I had 2 Dui's (one when I was 21 and one when I was 22) and I'm now
almost 28. I was working on a degree in communications and I'm at
about the junior level, but my old dream of flying just came back to
me all of the sudden and I thought I would make absolutely sure if
those DUI's will be more than just an obstacle for me.


The important question is: Do you still drink?


Actually, that question is completely irrelevant to the question posed.


A stopped clock is right twice a day, and I believe in this case MXMORON
accidentally asked a pertinent question.

A person who didn't learn from the first DUI is either an idiot or an
alcoholic. Now maybe he was just an idiot and grew out of it, or maybe
he's a borderline alcoholic who is likely to drink and drive (or fly)
again. Personally, I would want to see evidence that he doesn't drink
enough to get drunk regularly.
