Ditto-Its a "meet halfway" thing. Usually pre-dep I usually only have water anyway. When the FA is nice enough to ask indiv. for "something to drink" I have heard people say OJ, vodka, lime, and cran etc. -nice when the FA offers, but I also understand that they go above and beyond compared to the others when they do this, so I usually ask for a simple drink.

Besides, if we're rolling on the tarmac #20 for takeoff, we're already expecting a line into the lav the second the seatbelt sign turns off, and I'd prefer not partaking:-:
