Man Drinks Litre of Vodka at Security Line

Dec 13th, 2007 | By Jared Blank

A man drank a litre of vodka in a security line at Germany’s Nuremburg Airport on Tuesday rather than dispose of the liquid (1 litre > 3 ounces). A doctor was called and discovered, crazy enough, that he had alcohol poisoning. While this is crazy, of course, I admire that the guy wouldn’t let them take his vodka without a fight. Well done.

One litre is about 34 ounces not 3.

I believe the author was making a joke about how one is permitted only 3 ounces of liquids on a plane these days and that 1 liter of vodka is greater than 3 ounces.

Thanks, Jared supporter. That was the joke I was making (jokes are always funny when they have to be explained).
