The man was unable to stand by himself and slurred when he asked police why he wasn't allowed to board his American Eagle flight. He was unaware that his shoe was missing.
The salad dressing that covered the man, and the walls of the jet bridge, was from an open box of food that was sitting on his lap.
People, the airport is not a bar. We know you're bored and the water costs as much as the booze, but don't lose your head. Or your shoe. Or paint with your food.

...But what kind of salad dressing was it? The people want to know.
]]>It's called a drinking fountain, people. If you insist on drinking out of a bottle (or you want to bring some on the plane) bring your own EMPTY bottle to the airport and fill it at a drinking fountain.
@thisaintsweettea: "So, you're saying a drunk guy cant save a plane from slamming into the earth from 30,000 feet at 600mph?"
No, they're saying that someone that drunk may end up blocking an emergency exit, or improperly use an escape slide injuring another passenger in the process. And that is not even mentioning that even without an emergency there is the risk they will puke all over one of the few bathrooms putting it of commission for the rest of the flight. Or puke over the passenger next to them.
]]>anyway, drunk in public doesn't require the person to be in public. i know many of my classmates who have gotten them in places like dorm halls, which are essentially private residences.
]]>This situation seems to be past suspicious, why not just say he was held on public intoxication? Cops are so quick to taze people to death but they're afraid of calling a drunk guy too drunk to be in public?
]]>I just want to thank Consumerist.com for its thorough interrogation of the article.

]]>So, you're saying a drunk guy cant save a plane from slamming into the earth from 30,000 feet at 600mph?
I dont think the guy wearing his food and not his shoe should be allowed to fly, but my guess is he will be just as useful as the guy who's never had a drink in his life, in the event of a water landing.
]]>Also, drunk people are annoying when you can't find any way to possibly escape them.
]]>Having a drink or two while waiting for the plane, or on the plane is one thing. To drink yourself into a drunken stupor before boarding is something altogether different. If you are so bored waiting read a book.
]]>One more thng: "Lucabrazi" sounds sort of like "Lube A Crazy." Which is strangely appropriate to this discussion.
]]>I thought the same thing. Particularly when you consider that there has to be some for the walls, too.
On the other hand, painting the walls with food seems like a really good Dadaist way to protest airport idiocy.
]]>Also this guy has the best party story ever now. How the hell can you beat getting drunk at and airport and getting covered in dressing let alone losing your shoe.
]]>I'm so glad I almost never fly. I'd probably end up like this guy because having to wait on the TSA or stupid people would drive me to drink.
]]>we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. . .
given the extra time one most allow when traveling, plus the inevitable delays, getting drunk @ an airport is pretty much the only way i can tolerate flying anymore.
]]>I love waking up in the morning, still drunk, and "filling in the blanks" from the night before. Usually food spilled on my clothing is a good indicator of where I ended my night.
I wonder if I ever ended my night in an airport....
]]>Ha! My friend is a flight attendant for American and DFW is her base. I wonder if he was on her flight?
]]>Tazer Salad.
]]>I mean, yeah, duh, don't get hammered and smear salad dressing all over, but if I were his lawyer, that's what I'd go for.
