Reserve card holders should get two free drinks year round. I don't really get the point of doing random free months here and there.

I don't mind when people recline, and I will also recline if I'm so inclined (get it?).
But when I do, usually on evening or early morning flights where I want to nap, I make a point of looking over my shoulder to make sure the person behind me doesn't have anything (including themselves) in the way, and then I ease my way back veeeeeerry slowly.
On the flip side, I actually broke a pair of headphones (and almost my face) one time because I was trying to plug them into the AVOD at the exact moment the person in front of me slammed back at 500 mph. Half surprised I didn't sprain a finger.

Or sometimes you just need a drink to avoid screaming at someone because to make a 7AM flight you very well might have had to be up before 4AM.

I always think of airports like international waters. Time is really relative especially at the big international hubs. While local time it might be 7AM, your body clock could easily think it's 10PM.

(Since even the lounge employees aren't up yet).

I've ordered plenty of vodka and club soda on the 5:30 AM DAB/MCO-ATL flights. Half the time I get a dirty look but I don't care. I don't travel for business so I don't need to be too sharp upon arrival.
