A remote pilot consumed alcohol 5 hours ago and feels completely sober. May that pilot act as a Part 107 crewmember?

• A.No; a crewmember may not act within 8 hours after consuming alcohol
• B.Yes, because feeling completely sober removes the restriction after drinking
• C.Yes, if a visual observer who has not been drinking participates in the flight

Why

Section 107.27 prohibits acting as a crewmember within 8 hours after consuming any alcoholic beverage, regardless of how sober the person feels. Adding a visual observer does not waive the 8-hour rule.
