To be fair though, this doesn't really have to do with him as a pilot or the airline. It's just a guy that got drunk and did silly things when he had some time off. Who hasn't done that?

Also, the article states that he was supposed to fly out at 7:30 the next morning, however what he did is not illegal from the FAA's point of view, as long as he sobered up by then. Fairly irresponsible though...

Yes it is illegal. FAR's say 8 hours from bottle to throttle.

clearly you are not current on the FAR rules, 8 hours between bottle to throttle, you might want to get your facts straight
