Im on my way to Austin TX for another board member's bachelor party (who I won't out unless he wants to himself) and I've already had 3 Jacks since takeoff at 7am and the steward keeps offering me more. I figure my friends will be drunk by the time I get there at 11am so I'm just trying to keep up. Remeber I'm not an alcoholic, just an occasional binge drinker.
 
At your current pace I think I'd be asleep by the time the plane landed [laughing]
 
Once or twice a month during the offseason, usually special occasions i.e. weddings, bachelor parties, etc...and at every giants and rutgers tailgate. I was once thrown out of the stadium before kickoff at a homecoming game because our section usher thought "I looked to drunk", while everyone around me campaigned for me to be allowed to stay, saying I was a great fan who never caused any trouble, including the family with kids right in front of us, but apparently I stumbled on my way down the stairs. My friend whose bachelor party it is, who happens to be a lawyer said to the yellow coats who were throwing me out, "So your saying he's too drunk to sit here for 4 hours, but he can go back to the parking lot and drive home right now?" They said if that's what he chooses to do it's not our problem lol. I chose to stay in the parking lot with the 10 or so of my friends who had no intention of going to the game and continued drinking. I was not driving that day just to alleviate everyone's concerns.

I'm up to five, but a 5 hour energy or two after we land and i'll be good for the day, i think we're supposed to go the X-Games but it's supposed to rain all day in Austin so I'm not sure. Also, they've stopped charging me for them, so why stop drinking?
 
Have fun, pissed that I could not make it! And as long as you're not driving you're fine. Just add in a water and some light beer to keep the buzz going. Have a drink or 5 for me.

1. I've never flown SW before, but they let us get hammered on the flight here. They never cut us off, were still serving drinks as we were in final descent, and barely charged us for any of it.

2. I'm on like 3 hours sleep and still drunk. This is a fun place
 
Looks like the flight attendants might be carrying you off the plane. Don't miss the bachelor party.
 
How I'm picturing this flight:

Ask for a long neck Budweiser and make sure you bring the empty bottle with you to the party.
 
I'm going to Austin in September. Don't get too drunk so you can remember and then recommend some places for me.
 
Whenever I fly I have screwdrivers...it's OJ, so it's like a breakfast beverage!!
 
My wife was a flight attendant before we retired. They are not supposed to get you drunk (and they should know how many drinks you have had on the plane) because the airline would be libel like any place selling drinks. Besides, unlike a bar, this "place" may experience an emergency that requires you to actually do something like stand up and walk to get the hell off the flaming thing! That said, I certainly had my moments on flights where I was non-rev and they just kept giving me drinks, especially in first class.

Try flying United first class. Sucks. Practically begging for a second drink. Gosh I hate that airline

You're flying west so you''ll be gaining time. It's probably safe to double the intake. Once you arrive, you're definitely on your own, but you must deplane.

I hate to tell you. But this flight is going to Denver.
 
Hope all of you giving funny answers realize how wrong you are taking this question lightly.
Don't any of you know that rufanpops is the pilot of that plane he's boozing it up on.

Drinking on the flight unless you are having a few to pass out is a rookie move. I'd drink as much water as I could then get it started when I land. Assume you will be drinking all weekend.
 
You said steward, right?

Maybe the guy likes the cut of your jib. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Unless pops happens to wake up in the morning stark naked in some seedy motel room with no memory of anything after posting Southwest rocks. A couple of used condoms in the bed and the steward whistling in the bathroom as he gets ready for his next flight...

Yes
 
Yes you have a problem and who are you trying to impress with that many drinks that early in the day. I just hope you are not picking up a rental car and you get stopped or even involved in an accident. If so you must know that your ass is grass.

Enjoy your trip and party but when you potentially endanger the lives of others much less your own it's not so bright. Why is it that bragging about drinking is something that some folks find to be cool and manly?

Don't listen to these pretenders. There's really no upper limit. Drink all you want. If you get sick, be quiet and neat about it, and then just keep going.

A couple important tips....

First, don't skimp on the blow. Lay 'em out thick and often.

And second, it's critically important that, between doing lines, you keep up a steady caffeine intake. I personally recommend extra strong unsweetened iced tea w/some fresh squeezed lemon juice while chewing coffee beans.

Just remember that when the plane is starting it's final approach, you'll need to return your stewardess to her upright position.

If you can remember these simple tips, you should be okay drinking 15-20 mixed drinks or all the beer you can hold.

Amateur hour
 
This is right up there with my flight to Cancun for a wedding a few years ago when my traveling companion looked over as I was on my fourth beer to make sure I wasn't behind everyone else when we arrived while I was watching The Lion King on my laptop.
