Summary
Whether it's a 7am pint in the airport Wetherspoons to 'get you in the holiday mood' or a Gin and Tonic at 10 thousand feet because they are free (!) - it is often difficult to avoid alcohol when flying.
Airports and flights have sadly been the setting for many a relapse. The rules are different. Socially acceptable times to binge drink fly out of the window in the name of 'holiday'!
In this week's episode Hamish and Vic take a deeper look into why so many turn to the bottle on travel days.
Hame shares stories not only about his experience of mid-flight loo hangovers but of another recent dirty little secret...
Whilst Vic comes up with the biggest shock of the series so far...
