That, in turn, suggests that he was drinking well after the 8-hour period began or that he was pretty much slammed eight hours before showing up at MSP.
I agree, not buying the 4 drinks, over 8 hours before story. If you are the self catering guy that has 4 drinks you have a couple of mini-s in your bag, if you carry a full bottle?!?
