Man nearly dies downing vodka at airport

BERLIN - A man nearly died from alcohol poisoning after quaffing two pints of vodka at an airport security check instead of handing it over to comply with new rules about carrying liquids aboard a plane, police said Wednesday. The incident occurred Tuesday at the Nuremberg airport, where the 64-year-old man was switching planes on his way home to Dresden from a vacation 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.
Instead, he chugged the vodka — 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 go home in a few days.

Moronic? Yes. Heroic? definately
Plus it would be more like "you can either throw out this heroin, or check it in your luggage" you reply "fuck that!" and shoot it all up

The only person more of a hero than this guy, is the dude that was on cops that got into a car chase with a cop, and didn't pull over until after he was done smoking his crack.

He wasn't going to get arrested, he just didn't want to waste alcohol.
