One thing I like about airports: it's perfectly acceptable to get fairly buzzed in the airport TGI Friday's at 11 am. I am a big fan of long layovers.

Always get restless legs bs when I'm on a plane, so I just try and get smashed before entering.

To be fair you could easily get buzzed at a TGI Friday's anywhere at any time and nobody would care, assuming no relatives or coworkers are spying on you.

I think people drink at airports, because, what else are you going to do? I was stuck at the Dallas airport for 6 hours. I just went from terminal to terminal and visited a couple restaurants, ate some food, had some drinks, etc. You can go shopping, but I hate shopping. The only other alternative is to sit there on your phone and read the news or something, or a book I suppose

The best is when the duty free store is offering free samples. I got semi-drunk on Bailey's that way in New York once. I just kept coming back for samples, and after 2-3 times I realized they didn't care, so I just kept going back.

My record is 8 double whiskys, when I had to check out of my hotel at 11am and catch a flight which was scheduled for 6:30pm but ended up leaving at 9pm.

Airports became so much more enjoyable once I turned 21. However, as a tall person, plane rides themselves still suck. Wine or no.

I repeated the performance on the way back, in which I both missed my connection and the connection was cancelled, making missing it moot. I ended up at some motel (on a voucher, at least) outside of it, but the flight out was at 5:45 am and the shuttle to the motel was more than an hour late. I was at the motel a grand total of maybe 5 hours and slept for maybe 3 of them.

Dallas sucks human balls, its airport sucks donkey balls, and both should be obliterated.

On the other hand, as I was flying away from that godforsaken place, I got good readings from the Geiger counter/data logger I brought with me. The X-ray machine maxed it out, and the cruising altitude counts were about 30 times what you get at sea level, from all the cosmic rays at 38,000 feet. I brought it out of my backpack and the stewardess asked me in an irritated tone of voice if it was a GPS. I said no, it's a Geiger counter. She looked confused and left me alone after that.

About 30+ years ago I decanted myself onto a plane at about 6pm.
After taking off, the captain wished us a happy flight and announced that
the weather in Melbourne was fine and about 20C.
I laughed and said (far too loudly) to the guy next to me, "Why is the dickhead
telling us what the weather is in Melbourne when we're going to Sydney?"
Everyone within 2 or 3 seats swivelled to look at me and almost in unison
said, "But we are going to Melbourne".
Seems I had a seat number exactly the same as the flight I should have taken,
but the hostesses didn't notice when I boarded.

Positive, adj.: Mistaken at the top of one's voice.

I decided that I want to maintain a higher tolerance.

 

[Ferocitus]

I knew a girl who used to take a bottle of retsina to parties, and she'd
make sure that the hosts saw her so that she didn't come across as a
freeloader.

When she was leaving, she'd put the cork back and take the bottle home.
No more than one glass was ever taken from the bottle, and she'd
top it up with something (probably Pine-O-Cleen, so nobody would taste
the difference) before the next party.
Girls like that are real keepers!

 

[Hygro]

That's so unnecessary but kind of funny.

 

[Ferocitus]

What do you mean "unnecessary"?
If you mean putting the cork back so it wouldn't get more rancid, then that's probably a fair comment.

 

[Hygro]

I mean if she's cool she can come drink the other booze, and if she's not, she's not invited in the first place. right?

 

[Ferocitus]

Sure.
The other guests were more than welcome to drink her retsina.
When I first tasted retsina, I thought my friend was playing a trick on me.
It's like the Vegemite, or lutefisk, of alcoholic beverages.

 

[Hygro]

Sounds like her game turned into a joke. Was she in on it?
