Yup, there's plenty of redundancy built into space flights so a single drunk pilot isn't necessarily going to crash the space ship, BUT you have to remember that we are paying their astronomical (hee hee) salaries with our damn TAXES, and those asses are drunk on the job. VERY uncool. I've seen DISHWASHERS get fired for less, lol.
Lastly, can you even IMAGINE how awful it would be to be hung over in zero gravity, or during the liftoff? All those Gs and a headache, too. Pass the yak sak, please?
