Sure you can do that. But be prepared to stick around and have a few more beers than what you bargained for

Some things to consider:

1) As said by the previous poster, deliberately missing a leg will probably result in cancellation of your entire itinerary.

2) If your flight is on time (or slightly delayed) and the connection granted:
2a) other passengers who could be on the same route as you will most likely make the connection thus invalidating your argument;
2b) your luggage will most likely be transferred and this will cause even more trouble (i.e. they will be "looking for you", you will possibly delay the flight etc).

In short: not a good strategy. Have a beer on the plane and enjoy your trip
