Over at The Street Dot Com, we’re not here to tell people how to live their lives.
Flying can be very nerve-wracking for some people, and very boring for others. If you need a drink to make it a bit easier, that’s your business. Just be careful and know when to cut yourself off.
Don’t Miss: Delta Airlines Disaster: 'Wasted' Passenger Allegedly Tried to Forcibly Kiss Flight Attendant
What some people don’t understand is that alcohol hits harder on planes. While the actual blood alcohol concentration remains the same, people feel the effects more quickly and powerfully because of slightly decreased oxygen levels in the blood.
So basically, it’s very easy to go from “slightly relaxed” to “totally sloshed” on a plane without meaning to.
Which brings us to your latest story about people acting totally unhinged on airplanes.
A passenger on board American Airlines (AAL) flight 292 from New York JFK enroute for Delhi got into an argument with another passenger, and then allegedly proceeded to urinate on them.
According to the flight crew, the urinator was inebriated. You probably guessed that though, right?
The incident was reported to authorities prior to arrival and both passengers, were turned over to local police.
“An allegedly inebriated passenger relieved himself on another passenger,” said a senior official at India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation. “American Airlines has recorded the statements of co-passengers and handed over the passenger to law enforcement agencies. An FIR has been lodged.”
The urinate incident follows a similar outpour from last month, in which a different passenger on a New York JFK to Delhi trip peed on someone. We know that’s a long flight, but can’t you just make it to the bathroom and also stick to one drink?
