IAN ... DON'T TRY THIS ... :shock: Man Drinks Liter of Vodka at Airport Line BERLIN (AP) -- 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. 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. New airport rules prohibit passengers from carrying larger quantities of liquid onto planes, and he was told at a security check he would have to either throw out the bottle of vodka or pay a fee to have his carry-on bag checked as cargo. Instead, he chugged the bottle down - and was quickly unable to stand or otherwise function, police said. A doctor called to the scene determined he had possibly life-threatening alcohol poisoning, and he was sent to a Nuremberg clinic for treatment. The man, whose name was not released, is expected to be able to complete his journey home in a few days.
I heard this on the radio yesterday morning, how CRAZY is that guy?? hahahaha thats just insane!! Are we sure this wasn't ian??? Although, ian would likely drink the bottle and need another and be just fine! :lol:
Not a good Idea. On our way home from Cancun there was a lady who had Tequilla is her carry on bag and was told by security to throw it away but instead of just wasting a perfectly good bottle of tequilla she offered everyone a shot as we passed security. I wasn't interested because she didn't have any shot glasses.... :shock: ...but that didn't deter the other travelers.
I agree what she did was a good idea. When I said not a good idea I was referring to the man who drank the Liter of Vodka.
