Looks like I would have lost on both counts many time in the distant
past in a land far away (.

Not sure if I knew any better or just didn't care?

Things were different in those days. Breathalizers had not been
invented. A snort in the middle of a winter snowstorm in an open
cockpit, helped one survive until the next field/landing and a hot
wood fire in the shack. A shot before take off also helped counteract
the cold.

People forget how flying started and struggled for years until WWII
when big advances were made culminating in supersonic flight (and
space travel, a fall our of the maned air vehicle program).

Have one on me See you in the Pub.

They don't say 8 from bottle to throttle AND test "x" amount of
alcohol in system do they?

Aren't both of these separate stand alone constraints?
