How much alcohol are we talking about here? Dies the viscosity of the
endolymph actually change?

yes. you can be quite sober and still have the viscosity reduction
active in your ears some 48 hours or more later.
never, never, never drink alcohol in the week before flying IFR.

Up to a week? Endolymphatic viscosity reduction lasts a week after a
shot of port wine?

do some serious human factors reading. the subject is fascinating.
our human sensations have some amazing limitations.

Is that why I sense that the above posting re; ETOH is the equivalent of
donkey turds on a newsgroup?
