Moses,
In Europe it used to be legal to have one drink before flying. I got my German license about 15 years ago and we all went out to lunch after the checkride to celebrate. Two of the German pilots went with us and were having a beer with chow and their beeper went off. They then went off and flew a medivac mission!
Different strokes for different folks. Personally I will have my drink AFTER I land!
That said, had a good friend who flew airline in Berlin. He kept a beer in his Jepps map bag. When he caged the engines he popped the top on the brew and had a sip. When the dispatcher came out and asked if he could work overtime, Tom just smiled and showed him the beer! Worked wonders...
