Heroic Woman Downed An Entire Bottle of Rémy Martin at Airport Security

​We’ve all been there: After waiting in line to pass through security at the airport, you realize the bottle of water you just bought won’t be making it past the x-ray machine.

You toss it and try to live on in dry-throat despair. This all-too-familiar experience happened to a woman in China incident just last week. Except instead of water, it was Rémy Martin. And instead of handing her cognac over to TSA officials, she chugged the entire bottle. Like we said: we’ve all been there.

At Bejing Capital International Airport, the woman, whose last name is Zhao, was barred from taking her $189 bottle of Remy Martin XO Excellence on her flight to Wenzhou. So, in a truly collegiate fashion—you know back when tossing even a swig of boxed wine or half-pour of vodka was blasphemy—popped the cap and proceeded to drink the entire thing. Yes, all at once.
