Should I Get Drunk on the Plane Tonight?

[generationxwing]

Air Canada gives free drinks (beer and wine) on all international flights. I flew to the UK last summer and got smashed off about 4 or 5 cups of wine.

First and only time I've been able to sleep on a flight.

Drinking at high altitude means getting drunker on far less alcohol.

What a freaking rip off! I live in the good ol' Mile High city, and I still have to slam almost a liter of vodka before I could be considered drunk. Boo. I'm switching to Everclear and Bacardi 151 for good.

Back to the topic... I plan on getting absolutely ripped on my flights to and from London next month. British Airways international, 12 hours non-stop, complimentary bar service... My kind of airline

Duff-Man says...I generally don't like to drink too much when I fly....on an overseas flight I will have a couple glasses of wine with the meal, take half a pill and zonk out for most of the flight....if you drink too much you'll get dehydrated and depending on your personality potentially in trouble...oh yeah!

Duff-man not drinking much? having only a couple of glasses of wine and not Duff?

oh no!

Just an FYI after flying Independence Airlines (FlyI), don't plan on getting drunk on the run to Chicago. I am guessing their CRJ service is alcohol free.

BTW - FlyI - a great airline! The most legroom in coach than I have had in awhile (so glad that I did not have to get into the fetal position to fit into my seat. Friendly staff, easy boarding on a 50 seat jet.

I didn't realize that there was an English and British. Thought it represented anger.

if your flight is 4+ hours.. go ahead. i just got back from syria (from los angeles. it was 11 hours to amsterdam, 5 hours in schipol, and 5 1/2 hours to damascus..) i was tipsy before the plane even took off.. 11 gin and tonics, 4 scotch and cokes, 3 huge cups of cognac, and 4 cups of baileys (the cute french girl next to me liked baileys... and the stewardess was a pro drink mixer)..... and that was just from LAX to schipol.. i have to admit it was the best flight of my life. if its a short flight and you're alone you may regret it.. people tend to forget certain important things when their under the influence.

You need to slow that down. I'd be dead trying to drink all that. Your liver is going to die.

That would be enough to get me drunk!

For some reason even after being up for 16+ hours - even unlimited alcohol in first class doesn't seem to help me fall asleep. Now two beers at home and I am ready for bed.
