    I’ll be the first one to admit that I hate being denied a drink too, but I try to refrain from spitting and slapping bartenders as much as I can. I guess Peggy needs a little lesson in self-control. At the rate we’re going with psychosis on planes these days, maybe some sky-high etiquette courses are in order. But then again, who couldn’t use another drink?
