apreunuk`s sadly right. Even a small presence of alcohol might be sufficient to trigger an arrest depending on where you are in the world. It`s really not worth it any more.
I rarely have even a beer with dinner, but for me this is not about alcoholism or excessive drinking now, it`s not about discouraging the all night "BA" benders of yore; it`s about quality of life, because what`s really being said now is that there`s is an implicit expectation that when you`re on rotation, you`re on duty, no matter how long you`ve been on the road.
There`s something profoundly wrong with a schedule when, after three weeks downroute, one has to fear having even one bloody glass of wine with one`s meal because operators don`t have the decency to ring fence rest periods.
