I have had a beer once in an airport before we flew to Seattle. It was kind of a celebratory, raise my glass to my Nanny. When she passed we (DH and I) received a very small portion of her life insurance. We chose to take a trip somewhere she would have enjoyed and chose Seattle because she loved water and rain, she also loved a good drink. Although I couldn't stomach a bourbon and coke (her fav), we did toast her memory with a Shiner Bock. Otherwise we're too cheap for overpriced airport fare.
