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

A person who didn't learn from the first DUI is either an idiot or an

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.

Exactly. One DUI is strong evidence of alcoholism; two DUIs is virtually
proof of it. So the question is whether or not this person still drinks. If
he still drinks at all, he needs to stay on the ground.

You have a source you can cite to back up this claim?

I personally happen to know someone who was cited twice for
this because she was the designated driver, and the fool she was taking
home left an open bottle of alcohol in her back seat.

Yet, she never had a sip.

How can you be charged with a DUI with a blood alcohol of zero? She was guilty
of having an open container; not DUI.

That has to be total BS, or there is more to the story.

Did this person actually bother to get a real lawyer and fight the
charges?

Were they "convicted" or "cited"?

Were they under the influence of something else, like a prescription
drug, that prevented them from passing a sobriety test?

Twice?

Cited, not convicted. She actually did get a lawyer and contest
the citation. It was dismissed. Even the issue of the open bottle was
dropped, as the person who was drinking came to the proceedings and
mentioned that it was his bottle.

drug, that prevented them from passing a sobriety test?

I know that at the time, she was taking prescription meds for
depression, but I don't know if she had taken them when this all
happened.

Twice?

Amazing the things that happen in a small desert town called
Las Vegas.
