Short answer
After a traffic stop in which he refused a breath test and was not found guilty of DUI, he stopped drinking entirely for more than five months and says his drinking never returned to where it was. His rule now: rideshare, or do not drink. He connects the change to becoming a pilot, which brought FAA medical certification and checkrides, and to running a company that holds other people’s money. He calls himself a more matured, safer person for it. 12
Trigger: The traffic stop (no DUI conviction)
Stopped: 5+ months (entirely)
Rule now: Rideshare or none (never drinks and drives)
Then: Pilot ratings (2024 to 2025)
Kevin’s account
Kevin’s account
I refused the breath test. In hindsight I regret that, I quit alcohol for well over five months afterward. I never drink and drive. I became a pilot. I feel like a more matured, safer person now. 1

Kevin’s account
Kevin did quit drinking for a period of over five months, and now averages an occasional drink on an occasional evening. He no longer drinks regularly and instead drinks socially. 3
In his own videos
September 27, 2024: a video titled 7 days sober, on quitting, with a discussion of portable breathalyzers and blood-alcohol levels. It dates the start of the sober stretch to late September 2024. 4
In his own videos
October 27, 2024: 37 days sober, including a week on a cruise, with seven changes, among them reduced anxiety and the observation that one wrong thing after four drinks can end a career. 5
From the September 29, 2026 Q&A
Kevin’s account
Resolution: the DMV overturned any license suspension, given the officer refused to allow a blood test when Kevin requested it. And the district attorney later reduced the penalties for the traffic violation to a reckless driving. 6
He quit for months after the stop, drinks far less now, and never drives after drinking. He treats the FAA’s checks as the proof. 12
