I guess ill be ordering doubles and triples, @:-) so how many drink services can i expect, cant i just walk up to the galley when i want??

So that 15-20 drinks is gonna cost ya about 100+.
Thanks, I know the booze isnt free on the US carriers, its one of the things i took into account. I considered taking LH or LX for the free booze, but figured 150 bucks spent on booze was worth it for an exit row or E+.

Yes i think its appropriate, but thank you for you concern, i know i have bigger problems, such as will they go get more rum from biz class or 1st class when it runs out, or will i be forced to drink whiskey or gin.

Planning to get drunk at anytime is silly.
Planning to get drunk on an aircraft is crazy (and expensive).
Planning to get drunk sitting in an exit row is verging on criminal.
God help anyone if they have to get out and there is a drunkard trying to fumble the exit row! Even of the FAs don't stop serving you, I would be talking to the Purser to get you moved way out of the way on the basis of safety.
thanks for your words of advise. ill take them into account next time i'm getting drunk, which funnily enough will be the next time i'm on a plane.

thanks, and your right, ill just switch with someone else, im sure there will be no shortage of takers.
i would just like to point out, i think its funny the reactions ive got from some people, im wondering if this is because im flying economy , or whether there would be the similar reactions if i was flying in biz or 1st?? i normally drink this much upfront, the FA's see i'm not drunk, i'm well composed and have NEVER had an issue before, whats the difference now, or are premium pax allowed to drink more??

I am.
