Max Count, a word for small spherical objects springs to mind.
The UK drink drive limits are 4 times the limits under the new act. In fact, if you have just over a pint you are probably over the UK drink drive limit. In most cases, you will certainly NOT be drunk. And trust me, you do not have to try hard to be over.
As regards to the aviation limit being at the limit of what can be detected...Shoe makers. Several countries have a ZERO drink drive limit. They have no problem detecting any alcohol in the body.
If Pilots are suffering from the illness then go sick. As has been pointed out there is no excuse nor is it reasonable to fly a plane load of passengers while having had too much to drink.
Sorry to be blunt, but get your facts correct and I wont have to be.

It takes the same time to get a drink drive blood test result. Why is that a problem?
So the bus driver reported him? OK, why should he not? If you got on a bus and smelt alcohol on the driver I presume you would do nothing then?
Your right he is innocent until proven otherwise, some people seem to believe he's innocent, because he's a pilot.
