I don't think you mean what you wrote.
A 'tiny sniff of alcohol', meaning nasal inhalation of a small amount of alcohol vapour has no measurable effect on performance. Point me to a study that disagrees. Mbutt spectometry of the blood will show presence of alcohol, and uninformed wishful thinking makes the crbutt leap from 'alcohol was detected in the blood' to 'there was enough alcohol to affect performance'.
I am well aware of studies that show ingestion of one 'unit' of ethanol (10 ml) has measurable effect on performance. What I haven't seen is any statement that the effect is greater than the natural variation of performance in a population. Safety nuts think the only acceptable risk is zero risk, which is both irrational and unachievable.
The spinning and bending of the truth that converts the killing of a pedestrian by a teetotal Quaker driving into them after the pedestrian had a dose of cough medicine into an alcohol related accident shows the contempt campaigners (and government departments and quangos with an agenda) have for the truth.
