You know, this is something that happens on a rare occasion and i dont understand why or how.
When i was flying for the airlines, we never had time to do anything but close the hotel door and do our best to get as much sleep as possible on our insignificantly short overnights. After a 14-16 hour duty day, arriving at the hotel at 9 or 10pm and having a 5:30am van time... the only thing on my mind was getting in bed. Let alone getting piss drunk. Check in, bottle of water, snack out of the vending machine, call home, change clothes, hit the sack... in that order.
given, there were perhaps 2-3 times per year where we might have a 14-15 hour overnight. In which case, yes, i might have one 12 ounce lite beer with dinner. Company policy allowed it, as long as you consumed your last drink 12 hours prior to departure. but to get shart faced plastered? (EDIT: or drink enough that anyone would smell it or have the least suspicion about you) No. Hell no.
To do so is not only to jeopardize human life but to jeopardize your entire career as well.
