Crew members are not to take alcohol for a period of at least 12 hours before planned take off time.....alcohol consumption 24 hours before should be modest eg. no more than 2.5 pints of beer or the equivalent.
No news on the new rules, there is a thread on Rumours and News covering the change in civvy law, early 2004 according to the thread author.

When and if we do get our GASO amended, I'll be most interested in the interpretation with regard to 'ancillaries'
Maybe the Sky Marshall (for the civvies) or our own RAF Police ATSY could take responsibility for enforcement
Then we could be marched off the aircraft at gunpoint.
