I'm with you Pete, except I don't see any reason to mix alcohol with life at all, just makes no sense to me.

I don't mind a drink,occasionally. Used to drink more but in the end its not that much fun. I never could understand why people travel to beautiful places in the bush just to get drunk. I can understand having an ice cold beer after a hard days work,but getting pissed all the time makes zero sense.

I highly doubt that WA have a zero BAC law in this regard. The law would most likely be similarly worded as other states.
What does the actual law say?

... define "affected"?
Alcohol in the bloodstream.
If I have a beer in hand, I can refuse a firearms/ gunsafe inspection.
.05 is related to traffic legislation. Everything else here in WAlcatraz is governed at the level of "discretion of Police"

It's not a quantified measurement, the requirement is not be under the influence.
Which is a question of fact.

EVERYWHERE else, and in every other instance other than stolen you are deemed being in possession.
I’ve had this discussion 10 years ago with WAPOL firearms branch.

That's stretching it a bit there!
If that were the case then all of his majesty's finest officers would be need to be sober at all times as they are in possession of their service weapons [locked in a safe]
