More relevant is, how many drinks can you have *8 hours* before duty and show up with a BAC of less than .02

I agree. I misread his post.

Article mentions .1 to .2 per hour...and then says it's .15 per hour.

Apparently BAC increase is related to weight but the metabolizing rate isn't.

To be clear, the regs state no smoking within 8 hrs of duty and no alcohol within 100 feet of the aircraft. Right? :D
