Man chugs liter of vodka in airport security line…
BERLIN – A man nearly died from alcohol poisoning after quaffing a liter (two pints) of vodka at an airport security check instead of handing it over to comply with new carry-on rules, police said Wednesday.
The incident occurred at the Nuremberg airport on Tuesday, where the 64-year-old man was switching planes on his way home to Dresden from a holiday in Egypt.
New airport rules prohibit passengers from carrying larger quantities of liquid onto planes, and he was told at a security check he would have to either throw out the bottle of vodka or pay a fee to have his carry-on bag checked as cargo.
Instead, he chugged the bottle down — and was quickly unable to stand or otherwise function, police said.
A doctor called to the scene determined he had possibly life-threatening alcohol poisoning, and he was sent to a Nuremberg clinic for treatment.
The man, whose name was not released, is expected to be able to complete his journey home in a few days. (source: msnbc)
I know how this dude feels…hehehe…last year I got a Jagermeister gift package with a 1.75 liter bottle and two shot glasses. I forgot that I had it in my backpack, since I had so much stuff to pack, and I got stopped at security. Honestly though…I didn’t even think to take a couple of pulls before they escorted it away from me (after hearing about this guy though, now I know for next time…heheh). That was a sad moment. Luckily, my friend Denise remembered that story and got me a ‘replacement’ bottle for my birthday. *thanks again Denise 
*thx for the article Samantha
