As I understand it until a few years ago long-haul Air France pilots were allowed to have a glass of wine with their meal.
I think the French like the Russians function better with a little than without.
I love the sound smell of jet fuel in the morning.

I wouldn't be surprised at them drinking Kronenbourg or a nice Belgian ale.

On the other hand, German beer.....
