V-Flyer

We have some great TR writers here, and to add to those here's one I found while perusing Flyertalk, called 8 bottles of DOM LAX-BKK.

Wow! JP has some competition...........

I would love to have done something like that

Pity I never will as we all know that VS never load that amount of Champs !

what a great read - including clubhouse time, I think the best I have managed is about 2 and a half bottles :#

thanks for posting link y)

Thanks for posting the link! Marvellous read!

Awesome!

Sounds like BS to me. Firstly, after eight bottles this guy would most likely have been unconcious. Secondly I can't beleive the cabin crew would have kept serving him.

I think the truth has been stretched more than a little.

1.5 glasses per hour he calculates. I could do that.

Brilliant!

Sounds like he ate loads as well.

Thats what you call a flight, marvelous y)

Totally agree whilst i enjoyed reading it for entertainment value, the fellow would have slipped into a coma at 33,000ft and 8 bottles later.

cheers

That's three flights over a total of 26 hours, with stopovers on the ground which included a shower on the first, and a nap on the second. And, as Sealink mentioned, it's 1.5 glasses per hour of flight. With a lot of food eaten. Totally doable IMO.

FWIW, macabus is a well respected contributor to FT with a great line on Champagne. He pointed folks to Pertoise-Moriset recently, so I went over to D&M on Fillmore and picked up a bottle, absolutely spectacular wine for under 39.99+tax. It's easy to live it up with 200 dollar bottles of Dom or Krug or whatever, yet when someone can pick out a great single grower champagne at that price I have to like them. I spend a lot of time trying different ones out and appreciate informed opinion. I've got me a case of P-M for Christmas

Even if you think it's not doable, and I believe it is, easily, it's a very entertaining read. I loved the style of it.

There's only one thing for it.

Who wants to volunteer to do a "Mythbusters" experiment.

I think I did it last night with the feel of my head this morning :$ :0

It's a great TR - there were some brilliant one-liners in there!

I still think the Eurostar PCP could do more though! ):

What do you mean 'could'?

Sorry to get all scientific on you, but it's actually already been done, tested and put into use.

The average human male can process about 7-12 ml of alcohol (or equivalent) an hour, so this is totally doable,but really, why would you want to ?

Have to say it sounds doable, just!

Because we can !

I'd gladly have a good stab at that. I think I managed 4 bottles of fizz to myself on election night so on a long flight like that with plenty of food I think it could be easily done by somebody who's system is used to that kind of, erm, abuse
