Ref:DUI

I like to eat where I fly, and that invariably means a drink or two.
My rule is 1 drink: 1.5 hours until last sip to flying. 2 drinks: 3
hours. 3 drinks: FAA 8 hours at least. Night flight: double those
times for 1 or 2 drinks.
Breaking a little bit the 8-hour b-t-t rule, but hey, I am pretty sure I
have that alcohol metabolized.
I gotta believe this is not egregious, and not uncommon. Not legal tho.
Anyone disagree?

What a duffus, saying that on a permanent record. Not too smart.

Not too smart to violate the rule, either.

That is, if you are real, and not someone just jerking our chains, which I
strongly now suspect.

It is both egregious and illegal: FAR 91.17(a)(1). You may not drink alcohol
_at all_ within eight hours before flying.

If you think it's okay ... what's your real, full name?

Let's get this all straight. Anthony is not a pilot, and certainly not an
expert on alcohol, its metabolism, or anything to do with addiction.

Why feed his pathetic needs by engaging him in endless discussions? He knows
nothing about flying, and never will.

Well, if I ever need advice on how to live the life of an expatriate
pauper with no job, begging for items costing less than $10, terrified
of real airplanes and real social interaction, with a list of excuses
why I can never be anything but a failure in life about the size of
the New York phone book, he would be my go-to guy.

Great point- If I ever need to find a loser and social outcast Anthony would
certainly fit the bill.

However, when it comes to flying and related topics, he has absolutely no
knowledge.
