You can get a DUI for driving under the influence of spray paint or
properly prescribed meds, too.


You can lose your pilot's license the same way.

That's one reason why it's best to avoid drugs that cause impairment when
driving or flying. I should think that concern for safety would be the
overriding reason, but some people don't care about safety--they only care
about being able to do unwise things without getting caught.

Depends on whom you ask, doesn't it?


There are some fairly objective tests of impairment.

The police used to/probably
still lurk outside of the tavern and follow people they see go drive
away. It's happened to me, even when I was the designated driver. At
the smallest infraction, they have you.


Then avoid infractions.

People get tickets all the time who aren't impaired, but, if you happen
to get one after blowing .02, that doesn't mean you're "impaired," but,
they still busted people until they got smacked down for it.


Then don't drink at all before driving (or flying).

What, you worried about getting a walking under the influence if idiocy
citation?

So, you've never actually taken an FAA medical exam with a previous

I've never taken an FAA medical exam, period. How is that relevant?


You'll never ever take one because you will never, ever fly.

Anthony got a "flying under the influence of idiocy" citation while playing
with MSFS. He's very proud of it as it represents the pinnacle of his
flying accomplishments.

You wouldn't understand, largely because you don't want to.

Thanks, jackass. We'll all take that under consideration.

One wonders if he even drives.

Since he begs for stuff costing less that $10, I highly doubt it, so
his "thoughts" on driving would be just as valid as his "thoughts" on
flying.
