As posted above, it is an offense to consume alcohol less than 8 hours prior to flight - .02 is the tolerance for testing purposes. The new CASR 99 regs also close the CAR 256 loophole where you could clearly drink until you passed out 8 hours prior to flight and still have a considerable amount of alcohol in your bloodstream on duty.
