One of the most influential bloggers, TikTok, presented a recipe for how to save on alcohol to celebrate the beginning of a holiday at the airport bar, and at the same time get a little drunk so as not to be afraid of flying. She said she was saving money on beer at airport bars by smuggling booze.
In her blog at Tiktok @ Makena_Simpson, she showed a transparent plastic bag in her backpack, one that is commonly used to carry liquids through airport security. The bag was filled to the brim with miniature bottles of vodka, all of which contained less than 100 ml of liquid, so they were not confiscated when it passed through the airport security service.
Then the tourist showed how she bought a soft drink and added vodka, which she took with her. “Buy mini-bottles at a wine shop. Pack them in a bag. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allows them because they are less than 3.4 ounces of liquid (100 ml). Buy any soda for bottling. Pour your portion, decide that one portion is not enough. Happy flight “.
However, The Sun, which published the statement, “insured”, said it had contacted several airports to find out what would happen if the traveler tried to do so. “We are almost certain that this is not approved,” experts said.
In turn, let’s add a few realities: most of the small bottles of alcohol sold in Ukraine are made of glass, and most likely will not pass through the scope of the inspection before entering the “clean zone” – this is a reason for thrift. We should also add that the “cocktail” of carbonated drink and strong alcohol gives a fairly rapid intoxication, which threatens the consequences. Finally, neither carbonated drinks nor alcohol are recommended for consumption before the flight – because they severely dehydrate the body, which will have to spend several hours in the dry air of the aircraft, as well as increase the “gas formation” in the body.
