Have been standing aside reading all arguments instead of destroy the thread with bad spelling and grammatic.

I fund some interesting research:
The effects of alcohol on pilot performance and safety

This also tells you a lot regards the attitude to alcohol/driving
Résumé / Abstract
This paper assesses whether persons convicted of driving while intoxicated (DWI) are at increased risk of alcohol-related general aviation accidents. Past research has shown a clear link between DWI convictions and pilot-error accidents in commercial aviation. However, no study in the literature has addressed whether DWI convictions are associated with an increased risk of alcohol-related aircraft accidents. To evaluate a hypothesis, a total of 308 912 pilot records over a 10-year period were analyzed using logistic regression. After potentially confounding variables were controlled, DWI convictions were found to be associated with alcohol-related aviation accidents.
Pilots with DWI convictions were about 3.5 times more likely than pilots without convictions to have alcohol-related general aviation accidents. Actual or potential applications of this research include providing policy makers with data-driven information that is useful in improving decisions related to the medical certification of pilots.
DWI convictions linked to a higher risk of alcohol-related aircraft accidents
And at last Flying Lawyer:
Is this the price we have to pay for some pilots can´t respect the stipulated law?
MOSCOW, Feb 10 (Reuters) - The chief pilot of a Russian airliner which crashed last year killing 88 people had alcohol in his blood but the primary cause of the crash was poor training, investigators said on Tuesday.
The existence of alcohol maybe not to prove the cause of accident but a "non existence" would prove not
AGAIN,, Thanks for some good discussions/reading all!
