This pilot got away with the excuse of boozing in his sleep in 2007.

It’s all down to common sense really. In my opinion you shouldn’t report for duty with any level of alcohol in your blood, no matter what the allowance is. We have more than enough time to enjoy food and drinks whilst being on days off and well before any duty. If somebody needs alcohol to cope with stress and sleep disorders, than it’s better to go and seek some medical expertise which doesn’t automatically mean being denied a medical as there are loads of medications accepted by EASA and FAA for those conditions.

My first flight to a Scandinavian country would have been about forty years ago and even then it was not uncommon for officials to board an aircraft and carry out random breathalyser tests on the crew. It was common knowledge these random checks were always a possibility in Scandinavia, no grog 24 hours before was the usual protection applied by crews.
