You can't have a zero limit because,
AFAIK, fermentation in the intestines can produce ethanol (and other undesirable products
).
I'm very happy to be flown by someone whose BAC does not exceed 20mg/100ml.
Posted this last year but:
Free barrel on @ Sqn.
Mentioned to TC that we had sim at 1800 so would have to miss festivities.
TC said go for it and, if it turns to worms we'll just do it again tomorrow.
It did. (when more complex failures were introduced)
Like hypoxia, flying only slightly drunk should be a sim training exercise.
