Me and the boys went to Japan once and were ordering gin tonics. They gradually became stronger and stronger until they told us that they run out of tonic water.
By then we were already drunk and very loud. Must have been quite bad being on that plane and wanting to catch up on some sleep.
Sorry for that.
Jin tonics?
Fucking animals.
Have you seen the price of booze on a flight? You get fucked up at the nearest Spoons to the airport like everyone else.
So they had both drinks that were on the plane?
The plane probably had a low stock of alcohol. The drinks trolley usually goes really slowly down the aisle so all it might have taken was a dozen or so passengers ordering a couple of cans each and then they’re sold out.
Time to bring back the Soviet aircraft designs with tappable ethanol reservoirs
They still do in Poland at least. I heard a story from an airman about getting a ridiculous alotment of it for barely any flight hours. It was used as antifreeze for windshields. And then they “sprayed it a lot, because it’s like budgets, you don’t use it all, you lose it”. And when saying “sprayed it” he did a motion of chugging a bottle of vodka.
