4) I was under the impression that being intoxicated on a plane was illegal? If it's not then surely the airlines and crew would deem it un-safe to have such an intoxicated passenger on board.
If this person ever happens to be in London, i shall buy 8 bottles of Champagne (not dom) for him and see if he can drink them back to back in 12 hours

I think he might at the very least, struggle.
That's my opinion and i'm entitled to it, as you are entitled to yours.

Thanks for taking the time to list what you feel is unbelievable.
As my trip report states, it was over a 32 hour period. I was awake for about 26 hours, so that works out to roughly 1.5 glasses of Dom per hour.
