Jack,
That's an interesting - though somewhat abrasive - first post...

Maybe Arlen. But think about it. Do you want to fly with someone under the influence? Do you want to fly in a plane built by someone under the influence? I don't. Others tolerance for this behavior or the suggestion of it may vary.
Cheers,
JMA

I log cigars. Brand, type, and my 1 to 10 rating. YMMV

Default Old Vulcan Saying:

Too much Self Analysis may be cause for Self Analysis.

I think it's a good idea to know if you are still in control. Logging beers may be your way.
For me it was a waist-line issue.
It's less expensive to lose a few pounds off my body than to buy lighter aircraft components.
It's working too

Live long and Prosper.

I think it's safe to say there's a large difference between building while enjoying a glass of wine or a beer, versus building while inebriated.

Deburring, dimpling, scuffing or priming are some of the tasks where enjoying a nice cold beer doesn't matter, in my opinion.

I quit logging "how much" ($$/beer/time/etc) half way through the emmpennage. I feel much better with a half a$$ guesstimatation when I feel I must answer, it's not my day job.

Best way to keep track would be drink a can, cut off the top & bottom, slice it open, drill, dimple and install.
My first A&P job was a grass field in Coopersville Michigan. The local "cool guy" was on the town council, had an Aztec, a vette, 2 long legs for a wife....and no drivers license. His wife would skid up to the plane in the vette, he'd roll out along with some beer cans, into the Aztec and away he'd go. Ah, for the good old days.

You know you've drank too many beers during the build when the paint shop complains about having to sand all the beer circle stains off the top of the bare aluminum wing skins to prep them for painting.
