it's totally fine to drink 1/2 a bottle of vodka at 5:48 AM. Walk up to the bar, and say "2 bloody marys, a mimosa, and uhh...can I just get a glass of ice, but full of vodka?" Only to be greeted with a friendly, enthusiastic, "Absolutely!" by the bartender; nary a hint of judgement at drinking at an hour normally reserved for only the most serious alcoholics. Strike up a conversation with a fellow traveller about how the staff draws straws for who has to "wipe down the loads" in the complementary shower. Because, you KNOW people gently caress in there.

The airport lounges I'm a member of don't have a bartender, instead they have a top shelf open bar.

I personally would never use the word "loads "in the context that you were referring to when speaking with the stranger id just met at an airport. But that is for God alone to judge. I think it is fairly rude and it's not very tactful myself

You fools The trick is to buy duty free alcohol and put it all into a large McDonalds cup and drink walking around the airport and on the plane

The united lounge in london wouldn't let me in once because I wasn't in "proper attire" in jeans and a tshirt so I unpacked a polo shirt and they let me in. gently caress you, who cares what I'm wearing I want to get drunk at 8 in the morning. It was alright.

I find that beer more adequately prepares me for a day of airline travel than coffee so it's a good thing they serve as soon as things open early flight --> breakfast and drinks --> sleep on plane pro sequence good breakfast may not apply if your airport is tiny and sucks sorry

Monkey Fracas posted:I find that beer more adequately prepares me for a day of airline travel than coffee so it's a good thing they serve as soon as things open Beer is baby-tier travel drinking. The best move is to take a couple percocets and wash them down with some straight liquor on ice. Hard liquor has more alcohol by volume, so you get less water. Less water means less getting up to pee, because using the bathroom on airplanes is lame.

Also, many duty free stores I'm aware of make you show your boarding pass to prove your on an international flight when you buy something.

Aesop Poprock posted:Don't they like check open containers like that I traveled with a guy that insisted on hitting up the airport Starbucks for a big expensive coffee right before we hit the security line. Security confiscated it even though he still had the receipt the showed it was bought in the airport. Anyway, after clearing security he grumbled for a bit and ended up buying another big expensive coffee at another Starbucks near the terminal gates since he refused to drink the swill they served on the plane. We were cutting it close so he only got a few sips before it was time to board the plane and of course the flight attendants wouldn't let him bring it on with him despite being literally able to point to the store that sold it to him.

Why not somewhere nicer like Zurich or Oslo or something?
