Just out of interest, for the puritans here, exactly how many incidents / accidents in air travel have been attributed to alcohol, as a primary or aggravating factor? What do they represent as a percentage of hours / journeys flown, maybe factored per passenger for a meaningful comparison? Contrast this with the number of road fatalities attributed to alcohol.

I am asking the question because I cannot recall A SINGLE INCIDENT in the whole history of mass air transport that has been declared as such.

I am more than happy to be corrected here.
