Drinkin’ fer dollars

Posted by Ben on February 29th, 2008

So – tonight I got the “upgrade” to the free drink section on my flight home. Before the booze set in I began to wonder, “I wonder if my peeps would sponsor my drinks like a benefit ride/run while I fly home”. It must have been a rough week :) So what’s the word? If all the proceeds go to charity who would sponsor me at the $1 per drink on my flights? I could setup a paypal payment method to make it easy, announce when I get the free drink upgrades, and give a count of how many at the end of the flight. Those so inclined could drop the appropriate # of duckets (aka dollars) via paypal, and they would find their way to <insert charitable cause here>. Currently my flights are about 4 hours long, and I’m at drink #6 (switching to jack and coke after they ran out of vodka tonics – my bad :) . So, you could get yourself on the hook for about $6-7 bucks on a good flight for me – woooooohoooooo!!!!!! Lemmie know your thoughts. I promise not to end up in AA as a result of this :) Comments encouraged!

    Ben—
    Drinking is the only way to deal with flights so I’d $$. Though I’ve found international flights generally require vodka drinks + sleeping pill…

    Ben, You know I am game as long as you send some back to those of us on the same flight without the free upgrade.
