That's entirely misrepresents what I posted. My point is that if you can consume it in the lounge without limit then how can it be theft if it leaves in your bag rather than your belly so long as it is intended for personal consumption."
FYI, I have only ever taken 2 small cans of diet coke for a SH flight in all the times that I have been in the lounge. The reason that I have not taken anything above this is not because I think it is theft to do so but as I have never felt the need.
