In before thread/the lock

But will the thread then go to 40 Kong with the FT crew?

I actually do live that type of lifestyle as well, $1000 bar tabs, bottles of champagne while in the lounge and flying, drinking a lot of beer during the day then a bottle of Jack that night, trips to BKK on the wild side........

But I have never been cut off on a flight or banned from a hotel chain, you need to be a very bad drunk for that to happen. Might be fun for him but it sucks to be around those types.

Not to say I haven't had a couple of issues, 5 years ago ordering my 5th bourbon HKG-ORD in J and being told I am drinking very quickly (yes, I do), but I smiled and they brought me another. One LH flight US to Germany a long time ago a group of us were flying in Y and were told 5 beers was our limit, I walked back to the purser and explained we were headed to work where it would be dry and could we please have more, they obliged without a limit. Being nice gets you a lot further than being an ....

If it does, it should stay there and never be spoken of again - 40 Kong :eek:

No, but it can buy a lot of fun.

And that is cool.

Too bad some enjoy being a jerk....

Nothing worse then an F class trip being ruined by rude and disruptive drunks , well in any class really ......

we have a RTW trip, almost all in First or Biz - one of biggest concerns is a segment ruined by a jerk.

So true. Shame classless people sometimes end up in F.

Cut off in F
 

Yup - money definitely doesn't buy class

Flew Qatar J to FRA on the new A350 and it ruined by some f*%^er, who literally spent 2 hrs on the phone speaking to his girlfriend and it was pretty explicit , telling her what he going to do when they meet up from him being on his long Asia business work trip, lets just say they must be into bondage and it was especialy appreciated by the family with kids seating next to him and all he would do is drink and he would have the whole bottle and he won't even use a glass , thats right he would drink it out of the bottle with his mouth ......

Truly horrendous.

Did you speak to a crew member ....??

This is why I have no time for the boasting tales of OTT alcohol binges on board an aircraft, which are seemingly considered fun by our friend who went so far that he was '"cut off" .

Quite apart from the purely boorish behaviour element, there is always the underlying concern of things escalating to the point where safety becomes an issue. Not so much a problem if you're on the ground and the jerk can be thrown out of a bar /club to sober up in the street. Different story at 35,000 feet.

I find the gloating of being a binge drinker that seems prevalent on some fora rather dismal .

Maybe one day his boorish behaviour will be of a nature that the airline will divert to offload the passenger

Yes i did speak to the crew apparently he was cut off in the lounge and told he could board , but he would not be served alcohol including the Tiramisu cake too as that contained alcohol as well, so he bought his own booze from the duty free store. i got the impression the 20 yr tan model looking cabin crew members didn't really want to get involved as they were a bit scared of him , but apparently the captain found out he was booked on a corporate ticket and Qatar Legal would contact his company on arrival as they didn't want an issue to kick off in flight ..... Nothing worse paying big $$$ and getting it spoiled by people who think the are untouchable once they have had a drink or two !
