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.

Goody goody for you. I can't imagine any of us want to fly with someone who has been drinking. I'm fairly confident that none of the passengers want to as well. I hope you don't kill anyone while you're out there acting like a fool in your car.

I've always wanted to do a study, but I know it will never happen, but I'd like to do a "sober/rested" checkride to set up a baseline, then do a checkride after 7 legs and 15 hours of duty, and then a checkride after a few beers. I have a feeling that the tired checkride and beer checkride would look eerily similar... To the point where looking at the ILS print outs it would probably be hard to tell which one was wobbly due to being tired and which was wobbly due to beers.

Not the exact article I was looking for because I remember it being much shorter and having a chart with different BACs vs hours awake. Google did show a bunch of results on this topic though.

Heck, I know I play video games and shoot pool better after a couple of beers. I like your idea of doing a checkride after putting a couple down the hatch, it'd make for some interesting material in recurrent.
