Several...

Yes, indeed, there have been oldebloke.

Northwest pilots received jail for multiple cocktails prior to operating ex- South Dakota, with w/ B727 acft.

AmWest crew facing jail time for their escapades in MIA.

Drink and be merry...go directly to jail, if a pilot, and found out.

Now then, run out of fuel ...and crash?
Seems to me to be culpable manslaughter.

Run out...at your own risk. There can really be NO excuse, except perhaps mech/tech failure/wx.

And if you don't uplift enough...well, one Brit crew (BY/Girona for example) found out, bigtime. Poorly flown approach, no diversion fuel...crash.
