In this guys defense; anyone who spends thousands of dollars to get the required certificates to fly a plane, then spend years working in horrible (and sometimes dangerous) jobs for very long hours away from home to get to his present point of a career, doesn't really have what I would consider as mentally superior abilities to begin with.....just assuming all this ;-)

Somehow I doubt 40ish stacks bills would fit into a money belt*

Who says you're limited to one belt?

Not necessarily. I had a guy on AD show up with a .16+ to instruct NO ONE noticed except his very devout tea totaling student when he leaned over a map during planning. He could not fight the BAC or the DUI (we had someone who saw him drive in that morning) but he swore up and down he had not violated bottle to throttle. He had a previous incident years before where he was found unconscious but alive with .4+ (NO I DID NOT FORGET THE ZEROS) because he had survived at those leaves the toxicologist said he could have easily had the nearly .2 twelve hours after stopping drinking. Alcoholics can keep their bodies at high levels and no one around will be able to tell.

Alcohol is a bigger fact of life than many of us would care to admit. As worthy a goal teetotaling may appear; there is simply no, one size fits all answer. I’ll say this, it’s a young mans (gals) game. The older you get, the slipperier that slope. Just how hard does one have to hit it to get .4?
