Ouch!,

You struck a nerve. I don't want to get into, or lengthen any urination competition that may be going on....BUT...

If ANYONE brought 'one or two' alcoholic beverages to our field, he or she would be removed and membership revoked. I am sorry, but if you need a beer or two to enhance your flying experience.....perhaps this is not the hobby for you. I do not want to have anyone around me who is PURPOSELY impaired. There is enough impairment from fatigue, medication and just plain stupidity to fill the quota.

The mere mention of drinking and flying POWERED models is ridiculous and I can't imagine any club allowing it. I hope I don't sound argumentative, but sheesh.....bringing ANY controlled substance to a family flying field is just plain stupid, (and yes, alcohol is a controlled substance in this and most other countries).

Perhaps, if you (anyone) think(s) it's 'normal' to use alcohol in situations where it is CLEARLY inappropriate, you should seek help. Trust me, I did my share of drinking in college and saw people get hurt and one guy even killed by a boat propeller because the driver had 'had one or two' and forgot to do his 'safety check'...sound familiar?

OK, I'm off the soapbox but please ....PULEEEEZE never even insinuate that alcohol and flying can ever mix in any situation. That is just untrue.
