Fly the drunken skies

God knows, I love vodka as much as the next Moron, but I also love not making an ass of myself in public, and I really love avoiding fines and possible prison time:

The women, who had been drinking heavily, caused mayhem and panic on the flight.

Terrified passengers watched on in horror as the pair, aged 26 and 27, swigged vodka from a bottle and shouted abuse at cabin crew.

Then one said: 'Let's open the door. I want some fresh air,' before being restrained by staff. The flight from Greece to Manchester landed in Frankfurt and the two women were frogmarched from the plane.

They were arrested by police and questioned before being released to return to the UK. But the pair could face a year in jail for the air rage incident and could also be hit with a bill of £20,000 from the airline.
Just to be clear, they tried to open the door to get some "fresh air" at thirty thousand feet. I think they might have had just a little bit too much to drink.
