The FAA and criminal justice authorities have ZERO tolerance for these errors.
If a "night of fun" is worth more than your career, reputation, and freedom, then you likely have a serious problem.
Get help before you get caught.
Why do people keep saying “get help”? Is EVERY pilot who has a drink or two beyond his/her limit a person who needs “help”? This is an ignorant statement, pure and simple. In case you haven’t noticed, not every pilot is a drunk and most definitely the vast majority of pilots are responsible folks as you “claim”.
