How drunk can you be and still board a flight?

Just took another ridiculous board licensing exam. $1200 worth of test that I didn't want to take. Anyway I'm at the airport in Houston and I'm about to get my drink for the next 3 hours until boarding starts



I don't know but I am sure you will know if they won't let you board the plane in 3hrs...:ph34r:

The technical answer is~ if the cabin crew thinks you may be a problem/danger to yourself or others during the flight--- you're off...


The actual real world answer is~ if you're arguing gun control with a TEXAN in Texas, you've had a few too many! :P

Depends. Maybe the disagreement is one or two hand grip




At an airport, doubtful, but point taken...now go eat something, I'm sure your hungry after al that thinking.

In Houston? Check.

Wasted $1200? Check.

Drinking cause your wallet was just raped to prove that you can speak English? Check.

Do I win a prize?

The shots were smooth, beer tasty, and I'm arguing gun control in Texas :D:ph34r::D

If you're in my home state arguing for gun control, you're too drunk to fly.:P


If you are a human AMERICAN and you are arguing for gun control, you are too drunk.

It depends on how much you can control yourself during the vital few moments of standing in line, presenting your boarding pass, and finding you seat. I once had a delayed flight cause an extended layover and managed to down 10 vodka martini's in about 90 minutes. Needless to say I was drunk enough that driving was out of the question. Through some concentration, minimal talking, and walking slow I got myself onto the plane incident-free. There's no doubt in my mind that i looked either a) slightly drunk or b) very tired or c) some combination of both, but I didn't look d) loaded like I was going to cause a problem on the plane.

You, sir, are model of holding your liquor.:D That's a lot of martinis. :D

The FAR's speak a lot about "appearing intoxicated." If you can behave, I think you'll usually get on the plane.

Bachelor party tandems? Maybe they started the day off with a Bloody Mary? Does the passenger appear intoxicated?

I fell asleep / passed out on the flight, was absolutely zero problem to the flight crew :)
FWIW, I almost never fly commercial completely sober. If I'm flying eastbound, it's nearly 100% a red-eye and a few glasses of heavy red-wine help me sleep through the flight. Flying westbound (or north / south) is usually a day flight, but I'm always at the airport early enough for 1-2 beers. Layovers, well I've admitted to that behavior already ;)


Edit to add the FWIW paragraph.
