Most modern fighter jets couldn't fly without the "magic" of fly-by-wire.

Still, how do they keep from getting drunk?

They probably metabolize the alcohol at such a rapid rate (due to their high strung nature) that it isn't in their circulatory system long enough to achieve drunkenness.

The real question then becomes, what do dragons do after a hard day at work, since having a beer or two wouldn't have the same effect?

I'm going to use your question while I am finishing my book.
