Ok, let's concede for the sake of argument that being a world-class
racing driver and being drunk were somehow able to cancel each other out
and make drunk-Mario equal in skill to an average driver.  Even if that
were true -- you're not Mario Andretti.

Pilots have incredible training but the FAA has the "twenty-four hours
bottle to throttle" rule.  There is a reason for that.

If you drink, don't drive.  If you drive, don't drink.
