thing:
"I don't think a couple of scotches and a glass of wine would put you over the limit 8 hours later".
Then you tell us that you don't know if the limits for a pilot are the same as a car driver. You certainly don't, so I simply can't see how you can make the original statement.
If we make a very basic comparison, you are allowed to drive a vehicle in UK provided that you haven't consumed more than 2 pints of ordinary bitter.
The limit for pilots is the equivalent of 1/2 pint of ordinary bitter.
Would you like to reconsider your original statement?
