Things like this make it really hard to continue being an alcoholic. But the alternative is flying sober, and that’s never happening.

Nips, man! Also, I find that airport bars often have goofy specials like, a shitty beer and a cheap shot for $10. Which is better than one or the other.

that’s why I just eat weed brownies when I fly. though when i went to Arizona one time i take a little LSD, wouldn’t super recommend that. but weed treats and flying is way better than drinking, less peeing means less time in those tiny hell holes they call restrooms on the plane.

Remember, you can bring as many of those mini liquor bottles as can fit in your 1 quart clear plastic bag. I don’t believe you are allowed to drink them in the airport or on the plane, but what they don’t know won’t hurt them.

I wish.

Oddly, somehow the Corona Light on draught was $9.50, but the Extra in a bottle was $9. How does that even work?

I’ve changed bars to one across from my gate. If this shitty Stella I’m choking down is more expensive, I’ll die.

It ’ s a goddamn shame that the liquor on the airplane is actually cheaper than the bar at the airport these days.

For what it ’ s worth, I find the hard stuff to be a better BAC/$ ratio than the beer at the airport bar. If there ’ s an airport bar that isn ’ t offering a deal on doubles, I haven ’ t found it yet.

Safe (and buzzed) travels!

Ugh. Can’t speak for them, but American gives me one plastic bottle of Woodford Reserve for $8, and I get 25% off using my credit card. On top of that, the 2nd one is free most of the time.

Downside is that I’m sober at takeoff unless I hit the bar.

I consider myself a frugal (OK, cheap) person. I normally like to grab a beer at the airport bar but I also like to take one (or three) of my 3oz carry-on containers and fill them with vodka before I leave my house. I’m pretty sure this is frowned upon by flight attendants so I make my mixed drink(s) while they are not looking/busy.

I tend to be antsy and staring out the window when I’m sober. I’m a little nervous flying as a passenger - despite having a pilots license - due to the fact that I hate the loss of control + a little claustrophobia. Seems like a recipe for a bad trip for me, personally. :)
