Illness - Probably from all the Jet A I keep getting on myself when fueling.
Medication - You aren't? Not even tylenol?
Stress - Uhhh? What's my job again? Oh yeah... comes with the territory.
Alcohol - Works better than sleeping pills and is "more" legal.
Fatigue - No, never, not even on my normal 16-18 hour duty cycles.
Emotion - Refer to "S", "A", and "F".
This is from the reality of being a pilot.

Food for thought...and Im just throwing this out here.
A person awake for 17 hours straight has the same levels of alertness/reflex as that of someone with .05 BAC.
And the max BAC for a pilot is .04.
Yet duty days...I digress. You can write your own endings as to what Im going after here...

But also I tell my students you can be completely obliterated 10-12 hours before your flight and still be over the .04. Also if you eventually got it down below .04, most people will be hung over as heck.
