Drunk pilot loses certificate

Big John wrote in message . ..

I've see a number of individuals who drank from wake up to the time
their eyes closed for sleep at night.

They were able to pass any and all tests of ANY kind (memory, verbal,
body activity, etc) given to them

Can you direct me to the published results which show this?

In contrast, there are a large number of published studies
which show impairment of some form, even in habituated
individuals who show less apparent effects. When the *same*
individuals were tested on tasks requiring judgement, ability
to divide attention/multitask and so forth, their skills
suffered vs. their skills when measured in the absence of
alcohol (or hangover).

This includes a number of individuals who loudly asserted
that alcohol had no effect on their skills.

This result is so consistant that I'd be very interested to
see a study showing a number of individuals who could pass
"any and all tests of ANY kind" while drinking from wake
up to lights out.
