I'm not surprised ... my luck with beer over there is not good. Back in a previous job, I was flying from London to Atlanta. I had to get up at 5 AM to get from east Midlands to Gatwick in time for my 1 PM flight (which went from Hamburg to London to Atlanta). I finally get on board, the stewardess asks me if I'd like a drink and I tell her I'd love a beer. She said the Hamburg-London leg had drank up every beer on board -- even the Double Diamond!  I was forced to settle for gin & tonic.  |

There is absolutely nothing wrong with supping a nice G&T at 30,000 feet, nor indeed at zero feet.
In fact methinks that I shall indulge myself this afternoon when in transit from Brussels to London. Thank you Robert, I am looking forward to it already - hic |

I'd tell you to think of me, toiling away over here, while drinking your G&T but then you'd laugh, snort gin out your nose, and it'd be all my fault somehow.  |
