10 drinks in 9 hours? Delta would be smart to settle this one quickly.
Meanwhile this dude should be in prison.
That’s actually not that many, assuming they weren’t guzzling 10 in the first hour. Depending on height and body weight, a drink an hour wouldn’t even put a male’s BAC above the legal driving limit in most places in the U.S.
Drunk or not, they should definitely be catching charges
Drinking on a plane typically hits people harder, I’ve seen estimates that say you essentially double your level of inebriation when drinking while flying
I’ve heard that as well, though I looked it up and it doesn’t seem to have any hard evidence (from a cursory google search). The one thing I did see that seemed convincing is that higher altitudes have less oxygen, so your blood will have less oxygen making you feel more drunk at a BAC level you would be fine with on the ground.

I’ve personally never felt any different after some drinks on a flight versus on the ground. I didn’t find any study or anything that supports this, I was trying to find something that supported what they said (and I have also heard it said). All I could find was speculation. I wouldn’t even feel a drink an hour at my height and weight.
I’d guess he had some before the flight too.
