Another drunk pilot
Heck, I know I play video games and shoot pool better after a couple of beers.

No. I am not. You would be confused if you are not aware that you can drive with a BAC as high as .07% and still be legal. At least in the state I live. Do you think a .03 feels much different than .02? At my airline we can fly with .02 or less. The pilot in this article wasn't necessarily legally drink. Just over the limit for his company. Yet the title of this thread is "another drunk pilot". Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't.
CrakPipe is onto something here. Actually, your driving abilities improve up until .04 BrAC, above .05 BrAC they drastically dimish.
Read up on some studies, the research is there.

it's not the liquor that helps your driving abilities...you are doing something the better half of your brain says you shouldn't be doing, so you are being ultra cautious....using cruise control, turn signals, complete stops, not texting, driving like grandma to keep from getting pulled over.

scared prudes? no some of us just aren't dumb enough to admit we drive impared or are "I know how to drink and drive and skirt the law" on a public forum that any lawyer/jury will have a field day with when you injure someone in an accident and blow .07. You say what's the big deal between .03 and .07? Well ask the cop what the big deal is between .07 and .08. You sound like a 13 year old challenging us to a drinking contest or the frat boy at the bar that thinks he can kick everyones ass then gets knocked out by a figure skater. And tell the laws to my friend who spent 2 weeks in jail for DUI for blowing .06......people are affected differently, you don't have to be legally drunk to be affected by it (and be punished for it).
