I have a 'proper' breath tester. The limit is 20mg/100ml. I did some tests when not flying. I weigh 168 lbs. 1/2 pint of Tim Taylors Landlord leaves me just under the limit 20 minutes after drinking it. 1 pint results in over the limit. Even 1/2 a pint is too close to the limit to risk from the legal point of view. The consequences of a positive test are dire. We all know the other risks.
edit
posted for information. Not a snipe at royston. Enjoy your flights to the pub, mate. I do, and in case the Pprune police are watching next time I land, the pint is for Mrs G. The soft drink is for me. OK?
