BEIJING - A Chinese passenger at Beijing airport's security check-in downed an entire bottle of cognac when she was not allowed to board her flight with the bottle in her hand luggage on Aug. 21.
Zhao, 40, did not want to hand over the $200 bottle of French Rémy Martin cognac - which she apparently bought at a U.S. airport - to the security officials and instead polished it off, Beijing Times newspaper reported Tuesday.
A few minutes later, airport personnel found her lying on the floor, crying and shouting.
"She was so drunk she couldn't even stand up herself. We took her to a room in a wheelchair so she could rest," said an officer who attended to her.
The captain of the flight, which she was supposed to board between Beijing and Wenzhou, refused to allow her on board, fearing she will pose a security risk to other passengers in her inebriated condition.
The woman recovered hours later, thanked the officers who attended to her and contacted her relatives, who took her home.
