B
is of no concern in aviation after 8 hours regardless of amount consumed.
C
in small amounts has no effect on judgment and decision-making.
Explanation
AIM 8-1-1 warns that even small amounts of alcohol impair judgment and that the effects can last well beyond 8 hours, depending on the amount consumed, which is why the 8-hour rule is a minimum. Small amounts do affect decision-making.
