Regulations are very strict when it comes to Alcohol consumption as crew, as i guess with any job really drinking on the job or being drunk is quite simply not aloud..
Jus dusted off the cobwebs from my manual and it says:
”The Railway and transport safety act 2003n imposes the following restrictions on the use of alcohol and drungs:
It is an offence to perform an ”aviation function” or an ”activity which is ancillary to an aviation function” whilst the ability to perform the function or activity is impaired by drink or drugs. this applies to pre and post flight duties aswell as standbys
The police will have the power to conduct a breathalyser and subsequent blood or urine test when there are reasonable grounds for suspicion that an offence has been committed or following a serious incident or accident
Crew must not consume alcohol for a minimum period of 8hours before standby or reporting for a duty and only in moderation for 24hours before the duty
Crew may not consume alcohol while on standby or at any time during flight duty periods
Crew may not consume alcohol while on duty in uniform or when off duty but in uniform in public places”
