Just popped back in from drinking on the roof and saw this. Once, when an early PPL stude, I flew with a bad hangover. The instructor later commented that I had seemed very focussed, attentive and quiet during the lesson until I gave him control and grabbed the chunder bag. He gave me an article to read, all about alcohol's effects on the inner ear, as well as upon judgment. He had a "nil the night before" rule, which is probably the best idea, but I admit that I might have a couple of drinks and still fly during the next day. No flying this weekend, so off now to get ratty peeshed.
