A follow up question: is one drink the night before really a problem? iirc your body processes all the alcohol from a single drink to the point it’s not noticeable in blood tests/breathalyzers in about 3-4 hours. if it isn’t affecting behavior or cannot be picked up physiologically, is the blanket ban just a “better safe than sorry” order?
