My rule is 1 drink: 1.5 hours until last sip to flying. 2 drinks: 3
hours. 3 drinks: FAA 8 hours at least. Night flight: double those
times for 1 or 2 drinks.
Breaking a little bit the 8-hour b-t-t rule, but hey, I am pretty sure I
have that alcohol metabolized.
I gotta believe this is not egregious, and not uncommon. Not legal tho.
Anyone disagree?

Yeh, I drink six or 11.

A few brewskis and you jack a guy a job? **** you in between your nose
hairs.

A few brewskis *while* *flying*??!!! That guy needs to be out of the
cockpit, NOW.

Aw, come on. There's nothing dangerous about knocking back a pint or
three before hopping into a plane loaded with fuel and chemicals and
engaging in a hazardous occupation like extreme low-level flight over
people's property and livelihoods, is there?

What could possibly go wrong?!

It shouldn't surprise anyone that pilots are not immune.

See _The Pilot_ (1980), with Cliff Robertson. As I recall, at the end of the
movie he ends up going from airline pilot to ... cropduster.

I knew controllers
who would come to work reeking of alcohol and I've seen some take drinks out
in the parking lot. I haven't seen any of that since the FAA started
mandatory alcohol testing.

Good.

If it involves flying an airplane, yes.

It is both egregious and illegal: FAR 91.17(a)(1). You may not drink alcohol
_at all_ within eight hours before flying.

If you think it's okay ... what's your real, full name?

A crop-duster is still a pilot, which you are not, and never will be
anything but a wannabe.

Let's get this all straight. Anthony is not a pilot, and certainly not an
expert on alcohol, its metabolism, or anything to do with addiction.

Why feed his pathetic needs by engaging him in endless discussions? He knows
nothing about flying, and never will.

Well, if I ever need advice on how to live the life of an expatriate
pauper with no job, begging for items costing less than $10, terrified
of real airplanes and real social interaction, with a list of excuses
why I can never be anything but a failure in life about the size of
the New York phone book, he would be my go-to guy.

Anthony is a wannabe wannabe. He hasn't figured out how to be a wannabe
yet.
