This guys sounds like one of my relatives.
A man nearly died from alcohol poisoning after quaffing a liter (two pints) of vodka at an airport security check instead of handing it over to comply with new carry-on rules, police said Wednesday.
The incident occurred at the Nuremberg airport on Tuesday, where the 64-year-old man was switching planes on his way home to Dresden from a holiday in Egypt.
New airport rules prohibit passengers from carrying larger quantities of liquid onto planes, and he was told at a security check he would have to either throw out the bottle of vodka or pay a fee to have his carry-on bag checked as cargo.
Instead, he chugged the bottle down — and was quickly unable to stand or otherwise function, police said.

Or, I wish my relatives sounded like him.

Yep…Gone are the days when you could walk on a plane with a bottle of water (or various other concoctions)without issue, thus avoiding waiting for the beverage cart and having to pay for alcohol.
Give that guy credit for trying (what I am not sure), and I hope that was some good vodka.
