and just one further thought...

If a flightcrew member was found to be unable to concentrate and was desperately trying (and failing) to stay awake and this condition was discovered as being due to alcohol abuse..

1) roughly how much alcohol would have to be consumed to create that condition in an average weight man and

2) what penalties would he be likely to suffer having been convicted in court of presenting himself in the cockpit in that state ?
