Chug-a-lug

Yes, the duty free shop is a good place to get top shelf booze on the cheap, but this probably isn't the best way to enjoy it:

A man nearly died from alcohol poisoning after quaffing a liter (two pints) of vodka at an airport security check instead of handing it over to comply with new carry-on rules, police said Wednesday.

The incident occurred at the Nuremberg airport on Tuesday, where the 64-year-old man was switching planes on his way home to Dresden from a holiday in Egypt.

New airport rules prohibit passengers from carrying larger quantities of liquid onto planes, and he was told at a security check he would have to either throw out the bottle of vodka or pay a fee to have his carry-on bag checked as cargo.

Instead, he chugged the bottle down — and was quickly unable to stand or otherwise function, police said.

Before you go getting all judgmental on the guy, who among us hasn't found themselves in a similar state of intoxication? I mean, sure, it usually takes three or four hours and a wild party, but...well, I can't think of a way to end this sentence that makes any sense.
