Alcohol

Take it or leave it? Any amount of alcohol in an aircrew bloodstream is disqualifying. My Opinion, I've worked in the field. There is such a potential for danger and impairment. A low level means what? Generally a higher level precedent? A hungover pilot is more dangerous than a drunk one, for the most part. If anyone smells alcohol on a professional, he/she isn't.
