BERLIN - A man nearly died from alcohol poisoning after quaffing a liter (two pints) of vodka at an airport security check instead of handing it over to comply with new carry-on rules, police said Wednesday...

Yikes!

I used to do stupid stuff like that, too.

Darwin nominee!!

[ari-freedom]

there’s a fine line between a real man and a total idiot.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

AMATEUR!!

The incident occurred at the Nuremberg airport on Tuesday, where the 64-year-old man was switching planes on his way home to Dresden from a holiday in Egypt.

They once tried to take my toothpaste away so I brushed my teeth for an hour straight ... missed my flight but I used all the toothpaste.

So did I. I OD'd so badly on a bottle of Smirnoff when I was 17 that to this day (56) I can't stand the smell of straight vodka.

So did he still fly the plane?

[Fitzcarraldo]

maybe he preferred riding in the cargo compartment as pickled herring

They once tried to take my gun away, so I shot myself.

He sure showed them!

At least he could have passed it around!

What would he have done if he had been transporting a stool sample and they had tried to take it?

A faculty friend of mine once led a Summer in London program. In Heathrow on the way home, he told the students that if they had any pot, they had better get rid of it, because British customs were not tolerant and they would face a jail term.

One of the students was pretty sick on the plane going home. It turned out that he had eaten the pot supply in his pocket, rather than risk getting caught.

depending on the line, he might could be a casual drinker.

I thought the freshman year of college weeded out such types.

[MrEdd]

I did that with two bottles of tequila leaving Tokyo once. didn’t die though - had a high tolerance

At least he could have passed it around! - I was stuck in a Paris airport one day and our flight was 6-7 hours late leaving, a bunch of us got out our wine and cheese out, someone went for bread and we had a great party.
