We are always tested BEFORE flight.

So the answer is simple - drink during the flight (my airline has beautiful bottles in First Class) ..... ?

If police comes in my aircraft, we will prevent htem from entering the flight deck, just to make tem understand they cannot do everything they want) and by contrast be ready to get their test somewhere else (in the galley)

When in the galley over the Indian Ocean, can we drink and split immediately after (french way of tasting wine ?)
I always smell the opened bottles, to make the flight attendants smile (always the same joke I know, but we have so many of them, I can afford this)

And... drinking in uniform at hotels bars .. how can passengers know from which airline we are ?
Sometimes when travelling as a turist, I get dress as a generic pilot (I still have plenty of fake or oudated ID, same for strips) and proceed to the bar for a couple of whiskies - is that allowed, am I liable to any persecution by anybody ?
