Not just airports either. Train stations are a great watering hole. Union Station in Chicago supplied me a many cold beers. Both early morning and late at night.
I took a 5am flight from Nashville to Chicago once. Only about a 2 hr flight, maybe even less. The attendant brought around the drink cart. I was tempted to get a shooter. Got coffee instead. But just the thought that you can get a shooter at 5am.....
I betcha someone on that plane got one.
Me and my friends flew to Vegas once from Chicago. Early morning. I don’t remember the time but the sun wasn’t up yet. Drinks in the limo, drinks at the airport, drinks on the plane....it was a great trip!
I think it’s just a way to unwind before you unwind. Traveling is stressful. A few drinks to take the edge off really helps. One of my good friends can’t fly unless she has a couple screwdrivers on the flight to calm her nerves.
