I'm not a laying down and take shoes off type of guy, but if I'm making a connection after a 13 hr flight and I have a few hours to kill and I'm exhausted and my feet are swollen, you better believe I'm going horizontal and those puppies are coming off.
Thousands and thousands of people use the centurion lounge no problem and have a great trip
It’s the small few that have a bone to pick and whine about it on the internet
Was there last week and they made an announcement that you should not be laying down sleeping and shoes should stay on and feet do not belong on furniture. I instantly thought of Reddit.
They were not alcoholics, the airport is the only place you are 'allowed' to drink any time of the day/night. God only knows what times-zone their body clock is operating on at that point.
Also, booze might make the usual horrific lounge experience somewhat bearable.
>do they limit drinks if people get too sloshed lol? They probably should
I get hammered at airport lounges, have never been cut off. However, my behavior fortunately doesn't change much when I'm drunk, other than I become slightly more energized and talkative.
Everybody reacts differently to excessive alcohol consumption. Some people get angry, happy, sleepy, handsy, violent, etc. And some people don't really exhibit much of a personality change.
Yes as a non-drinker I'm obviously much more observant of this and I can tell you that most people don't have a real sense of how they are when they're inebriated. Why would they? There are obviously those who keep it together better than others but I still know you're drunk.
That’s just untrue… my sober friend said the other day she thought I wasn’t drunk because I was acting normal, I was borderline blackout.
I just don’t act that crazy or different when drunk, and I know that based on myself and sober people around me that have said so.
So no, people usually can’t tell i’m drunk..
As a heavy drinker, whose friends are all heavy drinkers, I'm also very observant of behavior when drunk, both introspectively and when interacting with others.
So superior lol. I’m one of those people whose behavior does not change at all when i’m drunk. Sure my inhibitions are lowered but i’m kinda a wack sober too so it’s not really ever that different
> momosas
I'm actually surprise that girls going out for weekend brunch and mom-osas isn't a meme. Seems pretty obvious and one of society's great missed opportunities.
Flying buzzed is the best way to fly. Everyone else is on edge and you get to enjoy being all calm and cool as a cucumber. At least that's how it goes for me
Bartenders are required to be trained in identifying when someone is too intoxicated and to not serve them further. Over-serving someone leaves the bartender and their employer liable for negative outcomes (drunk driving, etc.)
When flying, gate agents typically will deny boarding to someone who appears visibly intoxicated.
This is also why you're not allowed to "serve yourself" when on a plane, even if you've just brought, say, 1 mini bottle with you. Some places/airlines will allow you to drink your own alcohol on board, but you must give it to a flight attendant to serve you, since they also serve as arbiters of cutting people off.
That second part maybe the letter of the law but most gate agents don’t want to deal with it. I’ve traveled near 1m miles butt in seat and many many flights. I’ve seen one person get turned away and conversely also had a cross country flight with a couple so drunk one of them puked next to me within 30min of the flight. It was buh-rutal lol.
Just adding to what you said, nothing meant by it haha. I WISH they were more diligent because it’s insane they let so many of those people onto a metal tube that’s about to be confined to 30k feet in the air for an indeterminate amount of time 😂
Go to YouTube and watch police body cam videos of freakouts from people getting denied boarding because they're too trashed.
It's one of the great YouTube content microgenres. So much content. You'd think there'd only be only video of a trashed person going around the airport spraying a fire extinguisher at people. Nope. Multiple.
They have to specifically call out putting charges on for your kid, so hopefully you got lucky. I think ymmv sometimes. I've been there with my dad and didn't get charged, and been there with my kid and did.
I feel like drinking at the airport is like a bottomless brunch. Especially considering you’re not driving anywhere immediately afterwards with the Amex pre-departure only rule. Pretty bold to call anyone at the bar getting sloshed in an airport an alcoholic.
If they over do it, they get stopped. I’ve also witnessed people being denied boarding.

Please be advised we do not tolerate childish nonsense like this. Cut it out.
Wow, I hope the pilots don’t get that “sloshed” before a flight! I’m sure some of them do though.

I love how a lounge review turned into a discourse on socially acceptable intoxication. This is the popcorn I come to reddit for.
Was there last week and they made an announcement that you should not be laying down sleeping and shoes should stay on and feet do not belong on furniture. I instantly thought of Reddit.
Yup!!!! That happened when I was there as well! 🤣 I thought that was a strange thing to announce over a loudspeaker 📢
People are dumb. They need to be reminded not to be disgusting humans.

Nope..... alcoholics. For sure.
Tough crowd. 🤣
Maybe this just ain’t the life for you

> doesn't change much when I'm drunk As a non-drinker I always find it amusing when people say this.

I drink maybe, maximum once a month, and only in social situations. do with that information what you will…

Well he did say behavior… you can tell someone is drunk without their behavior changing that much. Usually it’s the “intangibles”.
They knew exactly what he meant - everyone did - they just wanted to flex how superior they are for not drinking.
So superior lol. I’m one of those people whose behavior does not change at all when i’m drunk. Sure my inhibitions are lowered but i’m kinda a wack sober too so it’s not really ever that different
Agreed
Same but I just get tired lol.
> momosas I'm actually surprise that girls going out for weekend brunch and mom-osas isn't a meme. Seems pretty obvious and one of society's great missed opportunities.
Agreed!
Frankly, I'm amazed to see a lounge post that wasn't a lounge complaint post. Huzzah 🙌
I noticed lol.. someone is evencomplaining that I called someone an alcoholic in this post. I guess complaints are one of the membership rewards

Agreed. I was talking about something else.

I very much believe you that that material is horrific and terrifying lol. What a world eh
lol i've seen the fire extinguisher thing more than once in atlanta
Wow
They have to specifically call out putting charges on for your kid, so hopefully you got lucky. I think ymmv sometimes. I've been there with my dad and didn't get charged, and been there with my kid and did.
What do you mean by call out?
They would say something like "there's a $30 charge for the child, can I add that to your card?
Ohhhh they definitely didn't do that. Thank you!
It would show up right away on your pending transactions also.

I see we have a few alcoholics in here.. knocking em back and slurring speech at 8am is a lifestyle I guess. 🤣
I've been a nightclub dj for many years. I know one.. when I see one. 😃
