Could not imagine being so drunk they would not let me on a plane, that is honestly pretty embarrassing


At the very least just get tipsy in terminal then get smashed mid flight

Two places you can drink at 8:00am and not be judged. Mardi Gras and airports. Fact.


SEC tailgating is also acceptable especially for an 11 am or 1-230pm kickoffs

I’ve cut the drinking a lot, but I romanticize the hell out of an airport bar:
- ATL: Buffalo Wild Wings Terminal D
- JFK: Buffalo Wild Wings in the mall terminal (you used to see Shane Gillis there every week too)
- LGA: I don’t know the name of the spot, but Delta side
- EWR: that burger place in the Delta terminal (beers are less than $10)
- MSY: Chilis
- LAX: Barney’s Beanery

I'm not a big drinker at all. But I love having a beer and people watching at the airport. It is the best.


This is me. Sucks me in. I find myself having cocktails at 10:30 AM that are normally reserved for dinner time.

way earlier than 8am is acceptable here. Sun up!


Cold beer and a cig at sunrise on a calm cool morning on the lake makes me at peace

I agree with this. The earliest I've had a drink at an airport was before 8am

back in the mid 90's ( I was 24 years old), I was on the job in San Francisco, flying home to St. Louis. I was wearing a skirted suit, as required by my job in client training. I had about 6 hours to kill with some female coworkers in the city before I had to get to the airport and decided a bar near the warf would be fun. At some point I took my panty hose off and gave them to someone at the bar. Then I let some strangers draw on my legs with a sharpie. On the way out of the bar, there was a homeless person with a cat dressed up in a Giants jersey. I thought it was so cute and tried to give him a $20 at which point the cat attacked me and tore my right arm into a bloody pulp. Teeth marks, and cat scratches. My coworkers took the lead getting us to the airport. I was totally allowed onto the plane. Woke up somewhere over Colorado with a thirst that could not be imagined. Still bleeding and with sharpie all over me, I signaled a flight attendant. Chugged a can of hot coke, and ran to the lavs to hurl.

I miss the days when you were allowed to be a disgrace and bring shame upon your family while flying the friendly skies.

A buddy of mine was flying from San Diego one Friday afternoon and was shitfaced trying to board the plane. When they told him he couldn’t get on because he was drunk he said, “I don’t want to fly the mother fricker. I just want to ride on it.”

Last minute, buddies and I went to the ASU game in Phoenix after Katrina. Stayed up Friday night and had a Sat morning flight departing Hobby at 9 am and a Sunday 6am flight back to Hou. I got into the short security line at 7am wearing shorts and a polo carrying a large handle of Milagro and a toothbrush in my pocket. Apparently at some point during or before departure my buddies and I got into the tequila and while we werent out of control we were rather sloppy. I remember stern looks on the outbound flight, and a stewardess concerned for my health on the return flight. I lost 11 pounds over 36 hours while not sleeping two nights straight.

We were stopped on the tarmac waiting for a gate in a thunderstorm at MCO. Crew said remain seated. I had a little too much to drink and felt it coming up. One burp and I had a mouth full of vomit. I jumped up and ran to the bathroom and one flight attendant said you need to stay seated. I patted my stomach and ran inside and barfed. But I came out and sat down like nothing happened and no one said anything. Didn’t end up on a list or anything for not following orders.

Must have looked like I was trying to Bin Laden the plane for a second though.

Drinking at airports is as American as apple pie, fireworks on 4th of July, etc.

Saw a drink gal eat shite stepping off the people mover at the Denver airport. It was like a comedy sketch, she did her best to stay upright and cruised sideways flailing her arms for about 10 yards before eating the floor. She then sat down for a bit, talked a gate agent, then realized her gate was about 20 back the other direction
