In a recent incident that has taken social media by storm, British passengers on a flight to Turkey managed to drink the plane dry in under half an hour. The news article, published by "The Independent," highlights this astonishing event, describing the passengers as 'hedonistic.'

The flight in question was operated by SunExpress, a Turkish-German airline. The image in the article shows a white airplane with the SunExpress logo and name written in blue letters. The aircraft is stationed on an airport runway, with grassy fields in the background and a yellow sign displaying runway and taxiway information.

Comments on Reddit reveal a mix of admiration and humor. One user referenced the late baseball legend Wade Boggs, known for his drinking prowess, saying, "Sounds like that one time Wade Boggs drank 107 beers on a cross-country flight. May he rest in peace." Another user humorously quoted the character Hedonism Bot from "Futurama" with, "I regret nothing! - Hedonism Bot (circa 3010)."

The airline was reportedly left without any alcohol, with passengers consuming every drop of wine, beer, whiskey, vodka, and gin onboard. A Reddit commenter speculated, "So these passengers drank every drop of wine, beer, whiskey, vodka, and gin the plane had onboard? Throw in the jetlag as well, and that's going to be one mercilessly brutal hangover."

Some users expressed pride in their national heritage, with one stating, "Turns out this makes me proud to be British," while another pointed out, "Binge drinking is like the third UK past-time after football and declaring every rock in the ocean belongs to them."

This unprecedented event has sparked discussions on the cultural aspects of drinking, particularly among Brits. One commenter pondered, "The Scots and English did this in Germany at the Euros. How is it possible? Is alcohol consumption so engrained in their culture that they develop crazy tolerances?"

Though the event has drawn both praise and criticism, it undeniably showcases a facet of British culture that is both fascinating and bewildering. Whether seen as a feat of remarkable endurance or a cautionary tale of excess, this incident will undoubtedly be remembered in the annals of airline history.

How much drink was on the plane? Perhaps they only had a couple of cans and weren't expecting such a rush. - 'cake or death'
