Arcniz, of course I don't advocate driving while lubricated... I respect what you say, but I think you take me a little too seriously.
I was merely trying to make the point that getting involved in a rumpus with security over a coffee is probably one of the silliest things one could do, if one had already made the decision to drive while over the limit.
(Based on the assumption that the perpetrator of an illegal act seeks NOT to be caught and punished for that act.)
To me, it's like driving your car drunk at night and not putting your lights on; you increase your chances of getting busted which is--moral issues aside--totally illogical.
Of course, booze and bad judgement make excellent bedfellows.
I wonder whether the episode with security would ever have played out as it did, if the pilots had been well-rested and not in the condition they were. I suspect not.
Cheers
