CX's wine glasses, are anything but flights..and usually the more senior crew tend to be keen to remind me that I am a biiiggg boyyy (their words), by filling (&re-filling) them close to the brim. Good that CX's wines are crap & I don't have more than a glass, if at all...but then, they do that for the whisky as well!

and, the un-clued in junior crew tend to overfill, to wash their hands off your call bell ringing after the first one..

Perhaps, they hate having to throw away the unused booze at the end of the flight as much as I hate them seeing do it?

We do look forward to our CX flights, but yes, I end up over-drinking esp on CX.

The legendary one was ORD-HKG in F which started with the purser telling my wife 'lets get him drunk' when he saw me...I crawled & tottered off the plane on that one..and back on ..after wifey reminded that i'd left some fab rum cake on board (well, the crew did get one pack on my second de-board attempt)..must've been close to the whole bottle of the Glenmorangie Signet that day/night (for the record, I'd take Macallan 17 over that) - no one else was drinking anything in F...have a vague recollection of meeting a fellow FTer @ The Wing that night...ok, that was a stretch - I do remember his handle, but don't have a clue what he looks like.
