Looks like this Paul is drunk with power.

I've never been on any "wild" flights, but I did exit a flight and immediately enter a charter bus in Mexico, on which the Mexican crew was literally trying to shovel as much booze down our throats as humanly possible.

I politely obliged without altercation.

Tell me about it. I'm the son of an airline pilot, so I've flown a lot (it was free for a long time), and I've never once encountered screaming, fighting, or urinating people while on a flight. I'm also pretty sure in the 40 years he flew (30 of it commercially), neither did my father.

How would they even know he had been drinking if he wasn't showing the, ahem, effects?
According to this, he was arrented leaving the flight and announced himself:

Rand Paul

No clue if he had been served inflight, brought his own or shared with someone.

I'm afraid of heights so the airport bar is the first place I hit before walking the walk.

I've always wondered if airlines could serve "minors" (like 19 year olds) while in flight if they so chose. Why not?

Why is anyone so shocked a 19yo kid hit on the booze a bit? Gimme a break.

Back when I was in the service we were sent to Germany a couple times. You had to be 21 to drink but can't remember if it was the airline policy or because we were military. Somehow everybody managed to partake in the festivities.

Just read the most recently linked to article. His arrest for being wasted and causing a scene in public took place before noon. That's impressive. Sounds like he's well on his way to alcoholism.
