You are sort of living proof to what I had been hinting at. Where do you think a doctor is going to find an expert drinker? Who will admit to their actual consumption? The liability of health insurance and keeping your job prevents most all heavy drinkers from asking for help if they can not quit. Most regulate in the business of aviation to their legal limit. Published medical journals are bias as our society even out of aviation will not give them a true platform of regular people to judge from! Like said above heavy drinkers calculate and manage their lives. It is only the idiots that are like the POI of the thread starter that bring light to the issue.
