Consuming alcohol and flying an airplane is forbidden. A friend who is also a pilot reminded me that with alcohol, the higher you go, the higher you get. Although the passenger compartment is usually pressurized to the equivalent of 8,000 feet for comfort (even when flying to 42,000 ft), there is still less oxygen. The flight deck comes with oxygen masks for the pilot/copilot/engineer to ensure ability to safely fly the aircraft with adequate oxygen.
