Get this in America.
One unruly passenger should not have the power to control 300 other flyers' plans.
They could cure a lot of it, if they stopped serving alcohol in the terminals or on the plane.
Alcohol is the only way to survive the terribleness that is air travel, until such a time that weed vending machines become available in airports, or air travel becomes less shitty. The latter will never happen. Former inside of a decade.
It's pretty much a ritual of mine to be and stay hammered most of my travel day.
Chug most of a half pint of liquor in the parking garage, double of Johnnie Walker Black for pretty much every hour I'm in the airport, order some mini bottles (or carry on my own) on the plane, sleep until my destination, and then do whatever it is I'm doing that day.
But then, I handle my alcohol extremely well (and have the red hair gene that makes you less susceptible to its effect and process it more quickly). So I don't really get in trouble.
Scotch-in-your-3-1-1-bottles team, unite!
Shit. That's my wife's secret weapon. I'm only a half ('stealth') ginger, but she's - how do I say this? - full-on ginger. Green eyes, gorgeous flamin' hair, and now probably this.
This only works for shorter flights, but you can eat an edible before you go into the airport. I reccomend one that you've tried before the flight so you know how high you'll get and how long it'll last.
Sadly, Edibles aren't legal all around the world.
We aren't there yet.
...is it?
