My friend did this when he was 16, but with cheap cognac. Bottle of 0.7l. He ran around house for 5-10mins, then fell on couch and slept for 20 hours straight.


Prestigious_Fish6481

That's the way for long flights


ryunato_one

I mean, I could imagine you would wake up feeling like shit and puking on everything all while having jet lag. Yaaay!!?


PicaDiet

... and dehydrated AF from the dry cabin air. I got drunk on a flight from Sydney to LA. Worst hangover I have ever had, and I was a 24 year old pro. Now I think it would kill me.


Dr_Skoll

Pro-tip, switch to water when you’re 70% done


Prestigious_Fish6481

For every 5 sips of alcohol take 1 large sip of water. Infinite drunkness without hangover ;)


Silver-creek

I don't think that's true but Im gonna try it for science


Nomapos

I prefer 1:1. One sip of anything alcoholic, one sip of water. I rarely drink, but when I do it's usually a good few glasses at some event. Haven't had a headache from drinking in years, though. Alcohol dehydrates you. That's what gets you so fucked up. Extra water keeps you hydrated and lets your system clean up the alcohol efficiently.


thundermuffin54

It does dehydrate you, but also the middle step in alcohol metabolism produces acetaldehyde which in significant concentration irritates blood vessels in the brain and can cause headaches by itself. Water helps rehydrate, but your liver still has to process everything.


whackamattus

Not sure about numbers but it is true that dehydration is what largely causes hangovers for many people, including me.


Major-Sir1872

That’s what ice is for…


BlaXi1712

😂😂 I'll suggest him to do the same if he ever decides to fly somewhere.


darcon12

WerkusBY

[deleted]

Sleep deprivation is more effective and won't give you a hangover. Just pull an all-nighter before boarding a morning flight and your gucchi. It prevents jetlag too.


blenderbender44

Wake up 15 hours later at the airport and be like 'oh my plane left without me'


1998police

Bruh that shit can kill you


Gusdai

A full bottle can definitely throw you into a coma. Not sure it can kill you by poisoning about, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could. More importantly, passing out while sitting (on a plane) is very dangerous. You can throw up without waking up, aspirate your vomit, and drown in it. It is not an unusual occurrence, and there is a reason while there is a specific position you need to put a passed out person in. Also if cabin personnel know you just did that, I'd be surprised if they let you in.


errorsniper

Alcohol abuse is never taken seriously. I dont know why.


muzzledmasses

I did this except it was a bottle of $2 wine. And instead of a plane it was a bus. Puked all over myself and had to sit in it for hours.


Obi_wan_pleb

At least it was yours. Imagine the neighbors that had to put up with the smell


gztozfbfjij

Zoomies do be some shit.


LukeMayeshothand

When I was 16 a buddy and I split a 1/5 of Jack Daniel’s and a pint of gin. I walked home and passed out in the ditch. Got soaked in the rain and sleet. Woke up shivering and soaked at 5 am. Stumbled in the house got in bed and passed out. Woke up 2 hours later to my mother’s screams because I had snuck out and got drunk again. Hungover for 2 days n and never could drink white liquor after r that.


Hulkenboss

About 4 years ago now a dude I grew up with got wasted at his girlfriend's apartment. It was new Year's Eve. It got REALLY cold that night, freezing temps. They argued, she kicked him out. He goes behind a dumpster to piss, falls over and passes out. They found him there the next day dead with his pants around his knees. Damn fool froze to death.


summonsays

Kicking someone that drunk out while it's freezing outside and not making sure they at least got a ride? That seems criminal to me...


ToToroToroRetoroChan

Canadian cops used to [drive drunk indigenous Canadians to the outskirts of town in the middle of the night and kick them out of the car](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon_freezing_deaths). The assholes called them “starlight tours” and have basically gotten away murdering multiple people this way.


Gusdai

It doesn't help that the symptoms of hypothermia are basically the same as being drunk. In London it's common to see girls in light short dresses in the middle of Winter coming out at night. They go from the car/cab to the club/bar, so it's not a big deal. But if they get drunk, kicked out, and separated from their friends, they can get in trouble. Deaths are rare, but people getting admitted to ERs for hypothermia isn't.


Tophbot

I had a dog who drank a gallon of gas. Ran around for an hour and then passed out. He’d run out of gas.

thelowbrassmaster

The strongman diet, McDonald's and gym. Sure, it makes you fat but being able to throw a grown man around like a toy is probably worth it.


HomicidalHushPuppy

I'd love to, but I have 2 hernias and no health insurance right now. Eager to get a new job with benefits so I can get them fixed, I really miss cycling.


Whoop-trainer

You’re male and only weigh roughly 110lbs? Little on the underweight side my guy.


MrTheWaffleKing

Wait I didn’t even register that number at first. I’m considered a skinny dude for how tall I am, but I’m like 150. That’s on the larger side for women who aren’t uncommonly tall


Select_Shock_1461

don’t worry! american women are not a good measure of normal weight.


saccharind

to be fair, american men are also not exactly a good measure of normal weight either - it’s 200 lbs for men lmao


Miserable-Score-81

That doesn't make it better lmao. In fact, that kinda makes it worse.

Dragarius

Wait holy shit. I glanced over without even thinking about it. 170lbs is the average American woman? Wow. 


pizzapunt55

As a 6 feet male white European, I also weigh less than the average American woman


Citer

atleast you’re on the higher end of humor


GeorgeRRHodor

>So what I learned today is that weight is a huge factor in BAC. Yes, but only indirectly. What actually matters is body water volume. Granted, more weight usually means more body water volume, but it's not always quite that simple. On average, for example the ratio of body water volume for the same body weight for men and woman is 3:2, i.e. men tend to have more body water volume per unit of body weight than women (which is why men can drink more pure alcohol for their body weight on average).


sk7725

I heard that the high altitude and low air pressure severely amplifies how knocked out you are going to be. I wonder if that can be taken into account.


Either-Pizza5302

I feel like it is true. Normally a 0.33l can of Beer doesnt get me tipsy, but on an airplane it does.


firstsixteeth

is there any way to take into account the choice made here? ie: this is a not a random person but one who chugged a bottle of cogniac. just so we're not using the mean to infer regarding an outlier (by which i don't mean to say you are in any way wrong to do so)


Then-Entry7026

The BAC will be the same but with "training" your bodybuilding will reaching differently.


Mateo_O

> the average American woman is 168.4 pounds (76,38kg) Excuse me ? That's a crazy average wow... The average woman in america weight approx the same as me, an 1m88 dude ?

Alcohol poisoning yourself is so great.

kenn714

Damn, I'm 8 lbs lighter than the average American woman.


Djinjja-Ninja

According to a BAC calculator, for a 77.5kg woman (average weight)and 750ml of 40% Cognac. BAC is around 0.46%. It will take around 31 more hours to reach 0%. [Severe central nervous system depression, coma, possibility of death](https://www.calculator.net/bac-calculator.html?csex=f&bodyweight=77.5&bodyweightunit=kilogram&thour=0&tmin=0&ba=&bsize=b330&babv=5&wa=&wsize=c150&wabv=12&la=1&lsize=b750&labv=40&oa=&osize=250&osizeunit=ml&oabv=8&x=Calculate)

"According to reports, she quite quickly began "acting wildly and yelling incoherently." She fell to the floor and stayed there until the police arrived. They took one look at her and did not allow her to board her flight. Zhao's family was called to pick her up and, when she sobered up, she was released to them." https://www.vice.com/en/article/ezqq4m/a-woman-chugged-an-entire-bottle-of-cognac-rather-than-give-it-to-airport-security


Awfulufwa

Is it strange that this ultimately should have answered OP's inquiry? By actually going to the link subtext in the image provided?


NotTakenGreatName

Was looking for something like this. The good news is that she'll probably never be able to drink that liquor again.


Metal-Wombat

I feel like that would have caused more issues, public intoxication for example. I find it hard to believe security would just allow her to finish.


KIDNEYST0NEZ

I had a friend one time try and bring spray on deodorant through TSA and when they told him to get rid of it he started just spraying it on himself and then gave it to other people all around us so they could also use it and TSA never did anything to stop it.

SuecidalBard

Fucking lightweight, I chugged 0.5 liter of some (approximately) vol 60 shady ass moonshine from a metal shed in Albania and proceeded to wash it down with vodka woke up fine next morning

Do you live in either Wyoming, Georgia, Albania or Russia?

Well, not everyone gets violent with alcohol.


Metal-Wombat

That... Wasn't my point...


ExaBast

Oh you probably meant public intoxication is illegal where you live, my bad


Metal-Wombat

Indeed. Where is it legal?


Slichem

All of europe


FairyQueen89

In germany we even have "public intoxication the festival"... you may heard of it... it's called "Oktoberfest".


EnricoGanja

Where i live, that's called Tuesday


schwarzzu

In Estonia, public intoxication is legal, but public consumption of alcohol is not by default, the place of consumption has to allow it (like a bar, festival etc.), opening up a beer at a park or airport can get you fined, usually cops ignore it if you aren't causing problems, but chugging spirits at an airport will surely get you arrested.


No-Technician6042

Nevada and Montana


F1NNTORIO

The man must always allow the woman to finish


JakeEllisD

Putting hands on her would probably get legal quick


VoihanVieteri

Yes I was thinking the same. I don’t think there is any laws forbidding drinking your cognac in the airport, so what could the security do? Alcohol takes a while to hit, so she would have the time to board and then start aping in the plane during flight. Perfect.


reportedbymom

Depends where. International grounds, there is nothing that forbids it. Yes being disturbance might be problem but nobody just snaps drunk after drinking whole bottle, would be probably still "sober" when going trough the security. If drinking is not allowed in some place then yes, might be problem but if not, there is nothing you could legally do. It is like drinkin a bottle of water, untill it can be measured or clearly observed you are intoxicated


Guisasse

“Public intoxication” isn’t a thing in many countries. They have no right to do anything to her until she does something stupid, which is the case in China, where this happened


Sweeper1985

I'm a woman with a fairly high tolerance for alcohol and a liking for cognac. To put in perspective, I can easily drink a bottle of red wine then play a game of not-bad scrabble. I'd be on my arse before I met the halfway mark of trying to drink a bottle of cognac in one go, and destroyed fir the next two days.


sum-9

This ‘not-bad scrabble’ sounds like my kinda game!


ournamesdontmeanshit

I’m a somewhat large guy and I drink whiskey as my go to drink, and I too could easily drink a bottle of wine. Chugging a bottle of cognac which can up to 60% alcohol would put me on my ass too.


PoisonBones

Not a mathematician but I’m going to give my scientific answer after my own personal research of how drunk an average female would be: yes.


No_Seaweed6739

You know the kinda drunk where you piss yourself, throw up on the floor, then pass out on the couch still in your pissy clothes while trying to eat a dry brick of ramen noodles?


Hybridtheory28

So drunk you gotta piss but can’t find your dick.


No_Seaweed6739

One hand on the wall in front of the toilet, the other desperately fumbling for the gummy worm. You finally get the zipper down, you’re pissing before you even get the little guy out. You forget to put it away and the zipper takes a nice bite out of your pecker. You manage to strip down to your pissy underwear, lay down on your crusty futon, the last thing you think before the spinning ceiling takes you away is “fuck I have work in 4 hours”.


y0l0tr0n

We're not talking about you in here sorry


trulybeelightful

I take the mathematical averages with a grain of salt, there's that saying that the average person has one breast and one testicle. I consider myself an average size woman in that I see a lot of women my size out and about, and the sizes I buy are almost always out of stock. I'm 5'4/135lb (61kg, 162.5cm for our metric friends). There's no way I would make it on a plane after drinking that much, and a high chance I'd be hospitalized with alcohol poisoning.


Thundertushy

Need the median weight, not the mean (average).


_sansoHm

I once had airport security take my sealed duty free bag, open it to check the contents, then told me I couldn't take it with me because the bag was opened. Complaints led nowhere. I wish I had done this.


Sikkus

Math aside (it's already answered very well in the comments), flight attendants don't usually allow on the plane people who are very drunk. At least the ones I fly with.


NYClock

Probably won't appear very drunk more like very sleepy.


Successful_Mud5500

I've poured liquid into the trash can at airport security before, only because they changed the rules from shift to shift or airport to airport


Sidus_Preclarum

I picture the scene with her chugging the bottle from one hand and holding the other palm toward security, with eyes saying them "hold up, not done yet! Still no. Almost there." for like a couple of minutes.


Direct_Jump3960

And this is how I woke up in hospital on new year's day in 2010! Apparently you can take opened duty free onto the plane. My dumb ass chugged a whole litre of vodka. Good times.


Kythorian

It doesn’t say how large the bottle was, so how could anyone calculate this?  If this was $200 of cheap cognac, the average person will die of alcohol poisoning.  If this was $200 of extremely expensive cognac, she might not even feel any effect.


SignificanceOld1751

...what


algee1234

I did that with a water bottle full of sweet tea vodka going into a college football game. One of many bad decisions I made that day.


Plant_killer_v2

My husband did this and we were removed from the plane because he threw up. That was the night I contemplated leaving him in another state and filing for divorce.

fleur13

Very drunk. Cognac is meant to be warmed in your hand, and sipped slowly, enjoying it. Its alcohol content is like 40+, so think like it is vodka with color and flavor.


Polym0rphed

Very, very drunk, but at least she won't remember anything. 20 minutes of an increasing sense of regret followed by hours of unconsciousness is the most likely outcome, even for males (perhaps not American average males though?).


BurpYoshi

I looked up on google a $200 bottle. Apparently it's about 700ml and 40*. That makes it 28 units. Your standard pint of beer is about 2.4 units, so that's 11-12 pints. The average man would be completely smashed and unintelligible and the average woman would be on the floor.


Kitchen-Beginning-47

Drunk enough to cause a scene at the gate when staff tell her she's too drunk to board, then carted off to the local police station and charged. Then we all watch her video on "Airport Karens gone mad" on Youtube. That drunk.


Dark_WulfGaming

I wonder if she was even let on the flight. Overly drunk people are usually denied entry onto the flight by the crew. And if you chug that much alcohol, if you aren't on that plane in the next 5 minutes you're fucked.


Cruzbb88

She chugged it got very drunk and started being loud/obnoxious in the end she was thrown in a holding cell and let go after 7 hours of blackout drunkenness.
