Well, no ****, sherlock, but thanks for the two-bit medical advice. You
a doctor now, too?

Nobody gives a damn what you do.

Earlier you said alcohol always results in impairment irrespective of

That's the guideline that I follow. I'm not interested in taking chances.

Non sequitur.


Nicotine causes blood pressure to increase, which could marginally
be concidered an "impairment" in those with already high blood
pressure.

The medical is supposed to screen for hypertension.

Yes, it does, but not for high blood pressure.

Do you know the difference between having "high blood pressure" and
"hypertension" Dr. Mxsmanic?

Coming from some-one who 'lives' in a country famous for its fine
wines that has to be the geekiest statement ever

It's a country in which one out of every six people is alcoholic, too
(according to some estimates).

They are synonymous in this context.

No, they are not, Dr. Mxmsmanic.

Explain the difference.

"High blood pressure" means the blood pressure is higher than normal,
which is most sources concider to be between 115/76 to 120/80.

"Hypertension" means the blood pressure is chronically over some
limit, which most sources define as a systolic pressure consistantly
over 140 mmHg and/or a distolic pressure consistantly over 90 mmHg.

As far as the FAA is concerned, absent other conditions, they don't
care until it gets to 155/95.

As with most of your pontifications, you are unable to understand
grey areas.

Your distinction is specious.
