I still maintain that you're falling short of your legal responsibilites by not reporting a drunk crew member to the police.
What legal responsibility do you have in mind?
Is it your belief that the law requires an aircraft commander and/or everyone to report to the police any offence he/she sees committed?
(Underlining to avoid confusion with any moral obligation someone might feel.)

You'd involve the police if you witnessed an illegal act in public, wouldn't you?
Would you?
Do you?
Any illegal act?
Or do you make an assessment in each case?
