An Unexpected Finding Among Commercial Pilots

You must have some experience with a drinking problem?

I don't use recreational or illicit drugs at all.

I can rinse my mouth out with a mouth wash that contains alcohol and I
then cannot pass the 'breathalizer' test.

So? You won't fail a blood test.

If I don't fly (legally) drunk (test does not evaluate your ability to
make correct decisions and act accordingly) what is it of interest
what I do on my time off if I meet the 12 hours from bottle to stick.

Twelve hours should be sufficient for most purposes. It would be better not
to drink at all, but I realize how addicted some people are to the drug.

You need personal experience (with the use of alcohol which I have) to
comment on the stupid original posting.

Drinkers often try to rationalize their reckless use of the drug, a behavior
that is common to substance abusers in general.
