There was a story going around Whidbey about a Prowler that crashed off takeoff/landing a long time ago, the crew punched out and landed on the golf course. A golfer offered them beers and one of them took him up on it. Showed up on the blood tests.
I know people that insisted that it was true and those who insisted it was not. Funny story either way.
They probably realized it was a perfect opportunity for a cover story for the alcohol already in their systems!
Reminds me of an old joke.
A young man rear-ends an old codger in a Cadillac.
It was a bad collision, and they both gingerly get out of their cars and are amazed that they're both okay.
The old man opens his trunk and removes a bottle of 10-year-old scotch, and says,"Wow, it's amazing this wasn't broken! It must be a good omen. How about a drink to celebrate the fact that we're both unharmed!" He hands the bottle to the young man, who was just glad that the old man wasn't angry.
The young man takes a healthy swig from the bottle, while the old man says, "Go ahead, drink as much as you like to celebrate our luck!"
The young man hands the bottle back and asks, "Would you like a drink, too?"
"Naw, I think I'll just wait here for the police to arrive."
