"No, you take care of him!"

I didn’t read article, but what are the negative physical symptoms? More heart attacks?
"No, you take care of him!"
You know, I could watch that for *hours*.
“ Save it for the bar in the castle! You’ve paid so much for the beat on the river that the castle will be comping your drinking anyway!”
Boy that alone makes me want to go to Scotland. Drinks at the castle bar! Cool!
This is crazy talk.
Of course it’s crazy talk. What if you’re on a Boeing aircraft. Do you want to be sober when that emergency door lets go in midflight? I don’t. What if you’re going down in flames to certain death? You want to be fully conscious and awake experiencing that to the last nano-second? Not me. What if your plane or your pilot wants to do a “Dutch roll” (see a previous article in todays forum), do you want to be scared to death and have a heart attack because you are stone cold sober OR do you want to be the one to stand up and say “That was fun! let’s do it again” and be the hero that calms everybody down?
Who drinks negronis on planes anyway?
Same
The article is true. I had a wine spritzer before going to sleep on a flight to Australia. I didn’t even get to sleep before turning blue and dying.
Then I died another agonizing death during the “winter of death” for the unvaccinated.
I better listen to the science or I will die yet again.
You should too.
When we flew commercial for the military the saying was “Never fly sober”. Never had a medical incident with any of us using that philosophy.
But the catering on MAC flights made that mindset difficult to achieve.
I flew on a overnight flight from Kona to Los Angeles. Left Kona at 9 PM and arrived in LA at 5 AM. My buddy and I knocked back 3 or 4 beers before getting on the plane. Slept the whole flight.
I was gonna say, what if they’re on a Boeing 737-Max......
uhh...
What movie is that?
[What if your plane or your pilot wants to do a “Dutch roll”]
I just heard about that 2-3 nights ago.
I would only drink a negroni on a point or a line.
probably one of the biggest contributing factors is the fact that U.S. air flights are pressurized to only 8,000 feet, so everyone is breathing MUCH less oxygen than normal ... those from coastal areas are going to be affected the most ... rocky mountain state residents not affected as much because we have more red blood cells built up from living in a lower oxygen environment ...
If it’s the pilots choice and not a faulty plane design/malfunction, I think it should be put to a vote of the passengers whether he does one. A simple voice count of “aye” or “nay” will suffice. Majority rule of course.
No idea. I searched for “drunk guy on plane” and found that most appropriate clip.
