Drinking in airports?

[Mama Coosa]

Who here flies often? Do you find yourself seeking the comfort of the bar nearest your gate versus the icky crowded chairs around the gate that don't have beer?

I do.

Yes indeed. I was at the airport just this week, stopped for a delicious cerveza, and dangit if the 75 year old bartender didn't upsell me on a shot of Jameson's. I almost never have shots, and certainly not on my own, but somehow being at the airport made it ok.

You bet. Somehow, a beer in an airport bar makes the whole experience more tolerable.

Cheers to beer in airports. Last time I flew to SLC - I stopped in the bar at 9 a.m. in Denver and had me a couple of nice cold ones. Met a nice Marine too and struck up quite a conversation while waiting for my flight. So much fun!

tangentgirl- I don't fly often and am not usually in airports during drinking hours, but had to comment- a shot of Jameson's can be a mighty tasty bit of sippin' whisky in the right circumstances (usually during and Irish music session at the pub...)

So true, azfiddle. Combine it with a well-poured Guinness and it will almost bring a tear to the eye.
