You win!
I've worked with a lot of military pilots over the years.
Would you like to hear a "Barnacle Bill the Sailor" song?

Jim and I will do Sea Chants and other sailor fun for you at NJC16
The breathalyzer doesn't prove "intoxication", it only indicates the presence of alcohol. The law states that a presence of alcohol above a certain limit is to be considered "legal intoxication"; it's considered "impaired per se" with regards to operating a motor vehicle.
Maybe I'm missing your point, but obviously if you "fail a piss test" it does prove intoxicated driving. The limit in my state, and many others states is 0.0 If the state can show the presence of marijuana or its metabolites in your system it's per se evidence of intoxicated driving.
That's just not how it works.. If you smoke a week ago, it can still show up. You are going to be completely sober the next day yet according to a piss test a week later you're intoxicated.
But it is how it works. I didn't say it's fair, or that I agree with it, but it is how it works in many states. Zero tolerance. nada, nothing, zero. The poster I was responding to was pondering what the limit would be. It's zero.
I could foresee a day when marijuana would be legal, and there would be limits associated with it, much like alcohol. I don't know if they have a cost effective test that will tell them if say you've smoked in the last 12 hours or if it's currently affecting you. I imagine the test would have to come out before anything like what I described occurring.
