Have you looked around at the "average" American nowadays? More like 5'6".When was the last time a human with self control swelled up to 220 pounds?
Edit unless they are 6' 6"

I've never met the guy and I don't have the full story. But making that little statement suggests he knew at the time what he was doing was risky but did it anyway. He could have just left it out and it would not effect his story regardless.
All that said, this guy has no doubtedlty been counseled to the contrary and insists on pushing his intent to continue drinking. It's worth noting that no describes their drinking as problematic.
Tolerance and denial. That's evidence of a drinking problem. Don't try and equate .15 to "social drinking". It takes 9 drinks in an hour for a 220-pound male to get to .15. When was the last time you had 9 drinks in an hour?
9 drinks an hour would be considered binge drinking. A more likely scenario would be 2 - 3 drinks an hour over a three hour period...
He said he was at a Christmas party (or get-together, or whatever), 1/2 mile from home.
I understand that, but I don't see that the pilot in question had his medical certificate revoked. He reported as noted above but nowhere do I see he lost his medical. I don't believe a DUI arrest results in an immediate revocation of a medical certificate. It looks to me like the pilot in question would have been better served to go the BasicMed route instead of applying for another third class and starting this process...
Didn't the dui point used to be .1 years ago before .08?
he re-applied and was deferred for futher eval.
Ahh, yeah.That's what I thought at first too, but then I re-read it. It actually says he had been at a Christmas party, and the "incident" happened 1/2 mile from home. To me that sounds like the party was somewhere further away, and he was almost home.
Not necessarily. See 68.9(a)(1)(iv)So then the airman in question could have gone the BasicMed route and forgone this whole process. Best of luck to him...

I guess being known by the local police as a hot rodder might have helped.
Ordering extra chili cheese dogs probably helped as well. Did you get him a Fresca, too?
Drs. Louis/Bruce,tol is acquired ... the more you drink ... the more you can drink! Meanwhile mr liver, bone marrow and brain cells die.
Times sure have changed, not that I am that old (lol) but in our town the police often told kids to go straight home and not be seen again that night.. The good old days
I probably changed the oil in his (not attractive) daughters car and did a lube as well. I did that a lot with the local police back then.
Except that would not make you .15. Let me repeat: .15 is not "social drinking".9 drinks an hour would be considered binge drinking. A more likely scenario would be 2 - 3 drinks an hour over a three hour period...
I read this and think "the guy knew he was drunk but since home was only .5 miles away he thought he'd chance it." That's demonstration of at least two FAA hazardous attitudes.
The better question is whether he bought him a Big Red...Ordering extra chili cheese dogs probably helped as well. Did you get him a Fresca, too?
That depends entirely on with whom you are socializing...Except that would not make you .15. Let me repeat: .15 is not "social drinking".
Different people have different addictions. For some people, it's alcohol. For others, it's overeating.When was the last time a human with self control swelled up to 220 pounds?

I believe the correct citation is 68.9(a)(1)(iv). The (B) appears to fall under (ii).Not necessarily. See 68.9(a)(1)(B)(iv)
oops. Edited.I believe the correct citation is 68.9(a)(1)(iv). The (B) appears to fall under (ii).

So...are some people born with tolerance? Or is all tolerance from repeated past drinking?
Even my scenario of a couple drinks before, during, and after dinner and not realizing it catches up doesn't work. This was a Christmas party: probably had food, and maybe lasted 2-4 hrs?Except that would not make you .15. Let me repeat: .15 is not "social drinking".
Hey, I'm not throwing stones here. I'm just saying, this guy isn't an occasional, light drinker as he claims.Even my scenario of a couple drinks before, during, and after dinner and not realizing it catches up doesn't work. This was a Christmas party: probably had food, and maybe lasted 2-4 hrs?
Now THAT is true!That depends entirely on with whom you are socializing...
Kinda what I was getting at. I know things can surprise you if you aren't a regular drinker, sometimes that Margarita is potent. But to reach that BAC took some effort.Hey, I'm not throwing stones here. I'm just saying, this guy isn't an occasional, light drinker as he claims.
