Pilot's and Alcohol
Hey guys and gals,
Seemingly odd question (or discussion point)...
I have a friend who claims he read somewhere the other day in a study done on alcohol consumption in certain professions that pilots rated pretty highly in the scheme of things...of course he couldn't remember the source (too much alchohol probably).
Has anyone here been witness to anyone ruining or having their career affected by excessive consumption - directly or indirectly? Of course, it can affect anyone from any profession but just wondering if there would be any justification to this claim?
I actually remember a Simpsons episode where they depicted pilots in the bar getting wasted..stupid as that may seem, is it maybe a common conception? That show is based on stereotypes...
Anyway, thoughts??
