We have all been in this position. We buy a coffee or water and TSA informs us that we have to drink it or toss it before going through security. (Just on the other side of the TSA is often a Starbucks mirroring the one that you just visited and ready to sell you the same exact beverage). Many people gulp down the drinks but most are not stopped with a bottle of Rémy Martin XO Excellence worth £120. A Chinese woman named Zhao was stopped at the Beijing airport told to dump it or drink it. She drank it. She was then pronounced too drunk to board her plane.
Zhao apparently was not willing to toss the bottle (or more likely donate to this evening’s party at the Chinese TSA) so she decided to consume it. She is lucky she survived so much alcohol in such a small time, though it is not known how much she succeeded in drinking. What is reported is that she began “rolling on the ground, shouting” at the departure gate before collapsing.
Reports say that she woke up seven hours later. She will now understand the company slogan: “Remy Martin. Feel More.”

Do you know what this is? No, I can see you do not. You have that vacant look in your eyes that says: “Hold my head to your ear, you’ll hear the sea.”
This is Brivari, very old Brivari, very expensive Brivari.Do you understand Brivari? It is a delicate drink, and the flavor is extremely fragile. It must be kept at a constant temperature at all times.If you were to impound it and stick it in a hot little room in a matter of hours, the flavor would bleed away and vanish like the synapses in your brain!

Those brave Americans and Brit on the Paris train have stopped more terrorists than all the TSA agents.
She should’ve shared with others on line. Would’ve been a hell of a flight !!!
You can now grade TSA on Yelp. I hope this woman gave them a 1.
Oh my gosh, a tiny Chinese lady drank an entire bottle of Remy Martin? They’re lucky they didn’t kill her. This almost sounds like a frat party hazing. I wonder what she dreamt about for 7 hours of a cognac nap.
You know the Chinese TSA must have been laughing about the little games they play on airport passengers. Just like our own TSA. 🙂
Chief Consort to the Progressive Grand Inquisitor, right you are.
Perhaps she had a midsummer night’s dream while passed out.
Much Ado About Nothing.
the tsa agent probably wanted the cognac.
Somewhere, Joseph Heller is chuckling.
I am glad to see that worthless rules on fluid volume restrictions that do not deter terrorism are closely followed in China as well as the US.
Unnecessary government employment that impairs the freedom to travel without cause is essential for a statist nation.
Kudos, China!

I was always wondering, are the drinks at the mirroring Starbucks (and in all other establishments beyond “secure barrier” or whatever it’s called) undergo some special scrutiny?
Rolling on the ground, shouting?
She was probably shouting, I COULD’VE HAD A V-8.
