Default RE: Would you join a club that drinks alcohol while flying?

OK, I found this on the first page of google:

http://www.caffeine.zeonhost.com/information.php

Coffee consumption has also been proven to reduce car accidents. It is encouraged for tired drivers to take a thirty minute break during the course of driving long distances, especially during the evening hours; during this break the driver should drink two caffeinated coffees (150mgs of caffeine) and possibly take a short rest. The caffeine together with the rest should supply the driver with enough energy to prevent possibly car crashes caused by non-alert drivers.
Good enough for me. I'm going to call the AMA and lobby for them to require all pilots to consume caffeine 30 minutes before they arrive at the field.
