If there's a wilder airrage incident I certainly haven't heard about it.

[Skooz]

I love the word "berserk."

[bmwcyle]

A sign of the end of the world - A Brit who can't hold his boozes.

[Onelifetogive]

Do you know who I am?

Ah, yes...the anthem of politicians worldwide!

[Muttering Mike]

Uncle Pete?

Ah, he does this all the time at the family reunion, he's mostly harmless.

[Semper Paratus]

Dangerous to get between a full blown alchy and his next drink.

[Mount Athos]

We got the plastic restraining strips and wrapped them round his wrists. We applied three pairs but he escaped after a few minutes

Maybe they need some new restraints

[Bean Counter]

Geez! Sounds like a guy I had to deal with on Shore Patrol one time in Naples....

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Alcohol makes you high specifically because it deprives the brain of oxygen. Add the effects of a lower amount of oxygen in the atmosphere at high altitudes to a little alchol, and it's just like drinking a LOT of alcohol.

[nkycincinnatikid]

Whiskeys with Port chasers. Is there a name for that?

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

this guy spent too much time in Patpong or Sukhumvit, LOL.

There seems to be a weird reaction some people ahve with booze and the lower pressure atmosphere in airliners. Otherwise normal folk just go psycho, and when brought back down return to normal. Bizarre.

[JennysCool]

This is pretty dang funny play-by-play!

A quart of Jack Daniels and two Thai hookers in a vat of Tiger Balm caused him to go into sensory overload. It happens to the best of us.

Well, there was the "well-respected businessman" who went buggo and dropped trou and pooped on the drinks cart. *That* must've been special.

[dennisw]

When dips go wild. Gotta love it

[mysterio]

Look for many, many more of these incidents to be highlighted in papers in the next few years. The world media has decided it wants drinking on planes banned. And they will get their wish.

[Mr. Mojo]

For lunch he had drunk a couple of bottles of wine, some port and some whisky but continued to be politely sociable."

If I had two bottles of wine with port and whiskey for lunch I'd be politely passed out.
