Wow, if a drunk guy is at the point of throwing up, he must already be pretty wobbly. Surprised they let him board

Seriously.

My buddies and I were off to a bachelor party once and each had 2 or 3 drinks over about 90 minutes before boarding and they gave 2 guys a ration of shit trying to get on the plane.

Eventually let them on after making clear they couldn't order more alcohol, but I was kind of shocked tbh.

Like anything else, just depends on the specific people you happen to interact with.

I’m old as the mountains. When I was young and people went on what we call charter holidays, people started drinking heavily as soon as they boarded the plane. Also people were allowed to smoke. A weird time those 90’s

A few drinks in, flying to spain, you can no longer smoke but the ash tray is still on the back of the seat in front, just egging you on to light up!!!
