I wouldn't. I don't drink, at all, haven't for nearly 25 years now, but my asthma medication is dissolved in ethanol, so if I get breathalised shortly after inhaling it, I'm going to get an non-zero reading and then have the hassle of going to the cop shop for a blood test to prove that my blood alcohol is "zero" within the meaning of the Act. It can't actually be zero, because ethanol is a species easily created as a metabolite, so we all have a few molecules of it in our blood even if we've not actually ingested any. The aircraft pilots' limit of 20 would be the actual level set if the UK Govt. opted for a "zero tolerance" approach
