I imagine it would be if you touched the controls. Otherwise not. You wouldn't
have been legal to be PIC. Having said that, were I in that situation, I would
have taken survival over a possible license action any day. Thought it's not
legal, one drink at dinner doesn't impair anybody to the point that they couldn't
save an out-of-control plane from going TU. Anyway, unless the real PIC is
dead/coma or points a finger at you, there's just nothing there for the
authorities go after you for.

If you mean "did t his happen", then no. Nothing like that happened. (in
fact, the issue is hypothetical). But suppose it were exactly that. Would my
ticket be in jeopardy? I'd bet it would.
