Merely bringing one in a situation that may be suspect is stupidity made large in this business. But you already know that don't you?
So, not only am I rightly expected to ensure my fitness to fly, but also to second guess the vagaries of the local test kit and enforcers. Come on.... I’d better shave before going out for fear of resembling a burglar!

but here we have contributors who think alcohol levels above the legal minimum are not only unavoidable but acceptable
And your evidence for this statement?
No one here is advocating flying whilst under the influence. The industry has no history of a problem with this, and is now faced with being criminalized, not because pilots are attempting to do that, but because the clever instrument makers have managed to detect ever lower levels of alcohol.
It’s the goalposts which are moving, not us. I find it particularly sad that it is the younger of our contributors (a guess, I know, but I think I’m right) who seem more likely to accept the rule rather than standing up for common sense.
Yes we must obey the rules, but that doesn’t mean that challenging them is wrong.
