Oscum's Razor, if you want to be totally honest, you might want to start checking the box on your Medical application (box letter "o") where it asks yes or no for alcohol dependence or abuse. Everybody knows that pilots are some of the biggest drinkers around. (I know there are exceptions out there, so if you fall in that group, no need to make a post about it) In my years of flying, on long layovers, nearly 100% of the guys I've flown with have "abused alcohol" during the layover. According to dictionary.com, "alcohol abuse: excessive use of alcohol and alcoholic drinks."
My point is that if we all started checking the alcohol abuse box on the application, then we'd all be getting calls from the FAA and start loosing our medicals. The FAA dosen't take that stuff lightly and they don't have a sense of humor.
