Well in some of the Scandanavian cities a drink will set you back close to $20

High bottom, dependent drinkers might, might just get the oil warm on that.

It's been awhile since indoc, but I thought if you stepped onto the airplane, even HIMS couldn't save you.

Because "intent to fly"? But if you somehow managed to make it past security wouldn't you still be intent on flying?

No, at least for prosecution. A guy got off the hook years ago after they caught him at TSA (TSA predecessor?) by claiming that he showered, shaved, and put on the uniform because he was going to the airport to use the ops landline to call in unfit. Judge tossed the DUI due to reasonable doubt, maybe it was before cell phones were ubiquitous.

Same as if you walk out of a bar with car keys in your pocket or hand... doesn't count unless you open the driver's door. That one's been litigated too.

That's for US though, Euro laws might be different, they seem to be leaning into thought crimes these days.

I believe intent to operate in the US has been established as reading a checklist. EU/UK have established intent to operate as reporting for duty.

Not only that.
Under ICAO the stricter rules apply.
So it’s irrelevant if the FAA allows 0.0X if the countries laws are stricter.
Same with intent.

the bigger question is why would you post this in the first place? Do we need to bring attention to this issue???
