Might be true:

LOL. I always order a double. I drank 6 drinks and my friend drank the rest. She only had to come 3 times max after service started. I used all drink coupons so she didn't have to mess with the credit card in the dark. On flights with Baileys, I drink Vodka with Bailey on the rocks, since Bailey is so weak. I usually always drink out the Baileys on the plane.
