Default I had 2 DUI's about 6 years ago, is it realistic for me to become a commercial pilot?

A person who didn't learn from the first DUI is either an idiot or an

enough to get drunk regularly.


Exactly. One DUI is strong evidence of alcoholism; two DUIs is virtually
proof of it. So the question is whether or not this person still drinks. If
he still drinks at all, he needs to stay on the ground.


You have a source you can cite to back up this claim?

I personally happen to know someone who was cited twice for
this because she was the designated driver, and the fool she was taking
home left an open bottle of alcohol in her back seat.

Yet, she never had a sip.
