Long layover at the airport...

And if there's any issues I'll be sober enough to drive the plane.

Man people love to drink at airports. I used to as well.

But I'll have a refill on my seltzer please.

No one is coming to save me.

I used to like it too, but how hideous was it getting on the plane and having to pee when the seatbelt sign was on; wanting another drink and not being able to get one; sobering up during the flight; having hangover thirst and having to find water; combining jet lag with hangover? Not worth it! Stay strong!!!! Plus the prices are a rip off

O hell yes can I relate to the airport thing. Pretty sure you know this.

You got this. Love your saying “ no one is coming to save me.”

Safe travels. Hope they have plenty of seltzer :P

Thanks everyone.

And yes I've been here before. Wasted many many a time in an airport terminal.

Little pangs come and go. I watch them disappear and I don't envy the buzz the drinkers are chasing.

Think how much money you save too! Airport drinking is ridiculously expensive!

Enjoy your seltzer! I'd forgotten about airports when I was thinking about my triggers..I'm not a huge fan of flying and a beer or three used to get me loosened up enough to feel okay about takeoff...I'll have to learn some new ways to relax when flying!

I travel often for work, and used to do some of my best drinking during layovers. And always felt like trash when I got to where I was going, and worse, the next day.

I do some of my best reading during layovers now. Sometimes I walk the terminals, to get some exercise.

Now, when I see people doing my old thing in airports, I feel no pangs. I did at first, but no longer. I’m so grateful to not be there.

I can relate to that, bexxed. Something about just having the option while having to sit around for a bit always seemed to get me.

Reading (and even writing) are much better uses of your time.
