Airport anger: man downs litre of vodka

"A man nearly died from alcohol poisoning after quaffing a litre of vodka at a German airport security check instead of handing it over to comply with new carry on rules, police said on Wednesday."

I can't say much for this guy's capacity for rational thought, but I appreciate his defiant behaviour. I thought of doing something similar this afternoon as security at the Christchurch airport called me out for having a water bottle in my carry-on bag. In fact, the security dude actually suggested I just chug it down, but after reading this, downing 250 ml of water just seems a bit weak.
