re: Why do people rush to be first to board a plane?

Free drinks while the plane is boarding.

OK, but on most of the planes I fly, first class is not in front of the boarding door, so the first class folks on the aisle have to watch every person board the plane, dragging their stuff behind and in front of them, getting hit on the head by bags.
I would board last, walk in, sit down, then get my drink.
