Huaco Kid Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 But, I don't know if there will be anyplace open at 3am. Maybe we'll get lucky. Those $17 drinks sound pretty good, right about now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWalrad Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 It's cheaper to leave the gate, Uber to the nearest Stop-n-Rob, buy the hootch, Uber back, get hammered in the parking lot and go back through TSA. A $20 double Makers Mark is not gonna make a mark on my drunk-o-meter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdTracker Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Or buy 12 singles and place them in a quart baggie. Take them through TSA (its legal) and get **** faced at your gate drinking out of a cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you CAN take them little bottles, as long as they fit in a baggie. Just gotta drink em before you get on the plane. BTDT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moeman Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 On the cab ride into an airport have them stop a a liquor store drain a small bottle then go in .... keeps the expense report in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Czervik Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 When I was much younger, I got looped at an airport. When clarity returned, it left me wondering WTF I was doing in Heathrow and did I have anything to declare? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 It was too early. Nothing open. Maybe I'll try the mini-bottles next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 I've been hammered at airports before. But I'm naturally quiet and mellow. I've been with friends, and seen others, that get loud and belligerent. That'll get you bounced in a NY second. I never drink while on the plane.

Huski92 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Bloody Mary’s are a tradition with my wife before we fly. No matter what the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk When I was traveling for business I often had the wife join me for the trip. If I let her drink in the airport before the flight, she might not have the hand and arm strength to grip the arm rests sufficiently to pull the plane into the air on takeoff! I mentioned this to her once, and told her that the pilot is up front. In the event of a problem he probably has less desire than the passengers, to mitigate the initial impact for those behind him/her. I don't think I helped the problem. Anyway, she hasn't lost a plane she has ridden in so maybe she is a help after all. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duluth Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I used to sneak into those airport flight clubs. Free booze and snacks. I'm sure they've clamped down on that these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
