Back in my skydiving days we had an an away day/weekend near a seaside resort. We all went to the pub for dinner after the first day. Notably everyone stuck to the one or two beers, even the Skydivers the Tandem Instructors. Skydivers are not noted for their restraint.
Anyway next morn bright and early we sallied to the airport. Everyone was bright and bushy tailed except one chap the packer. I didn't know.
On an early flight there was a slot for a single. But as he boarded the brewery followed. I ordered him off, even If wasn't dangerous to anyone but himself. I wasn't having it.
He's still a friend and he thanked me. But he still drinks too much.
