Bottoms up alcohol at airport security check

Sometimes we have to leave our belongings, like lighters, at the airport due to security requirements., But some people don't easily give them up.

Two men spent a small fortune - about 8,000 yuan ($1,289) - to buy a big bottle of medical alcohol, which some claim builds up men's health. The alcohol was in their carry-on and detected at a security check. Regulations forbid taking it on board and the men discovered it was too late to ship it.

Seeing no other choice, and not wanting to waste the expensive alcohol, the two men started to drink it at the security checkpoint, downing the whole bottle in a couple of minutes. The men were then stopped by airport staff, who notified them that they would not be allowed on the aircraft if they were drunk.
