You go hang one one and then sleep for 8 hours and are then tested.

How much alchol will the test show remaining in your system?

Would you be legal to fly per FAA regs?

Martin;
The question was is the consumption of 1 O'Douls a violation. I
think that it's safe to say that if OJ can have the same amount of
alcohol as a O'Douls, then your not "under the influence" if you
drink one.


Have you consumed alcohol? IMHO yes. Very little, but you have. At
least you have a not so good standpoint in court.
But you're right, the question stands, even when 0,0001% is also
alcohol.

The regs gone on to say that the limit is .04. The point I'm trying to
get to is not if your drunk on these things ( since it would take a ton
on them at a 1 to 16 ratio ) but what if you had one or two. By the
definitions cited above they are not considered alcoholic beverages and
you also would not be violating under (2) under the influence or (4) the
..04% rule. I think that the immediate answer that some gave of "it's got
some alcohol in it therefor your breaking the rules" does not address the
finer point of if orange juice or mouth wash can have a alcohol level
equal to these drinks, should the wording of the FAA be changed or is it
okay to drink ( or use ) these things. There's also the minor point that
if these things contain enough alcohol to effect people, then the FDA (
or other agencies ) should not allow them to be labeled as non-alcoholic
beverages.
