Staying four nights at the Del Mar Hilton a few years ago. Out till 4am on the last night with an 7:50am Sunday departure out of SAN. Woke up at 7am, luckly passed out in my clothes and my bags already packed. Was in a cab in front of the hotel by 7:15, offered the cabbie $50 tip if he could get me to SAN by 7:30 which he did (I-5 pretty light @ 7:15am on a Sun). Had only 1 carry-on and pre-printed boarding pass. Made it thru security and to the gate by 7:40 give or take a few min.

I think the only reason I even attempted it was because I was still drunk.
