"All things in moderation." -Socrates
A person can relax with a couple of beers after the day's diving is done, without any ill effects. Just as I wouldn't advocate getting sloppy drunk and diving hungover, neither would I advocate complete abstinence.
I wonder if they sell the halos some people seem to wear, through LeisurePro or ScubaToys. I'm going to have to get me one of those. I hope it won't clash with my dive gear, though...
Here Here!!! Mostly why I was trolling a bit. What is hung over? What is drunk? Tipsy? Hmmm. If I get tipsy do I get hung over or just a little slow the next morning. Wait maybe my couple of drinks gave me a bit of a headache the next morning. Is that hungover? So I can't dive. It's just not an easy question unless you were toilet trained at gun point.
And what about that line from the insurance form. Any lawyer worth his salt would rip that to shreds. Everything is "after drugs or alcohol." Wouldn't someone have to prove it was a contributing factor to the claim to deny it? After all last time I checked it was still legal to consume alcohol in most countries.
