A citizen of Federal Republic of Germany was not allowed by the customs clearance in the Nuremberg airport to take aboard a bottle of vodka, so he showed an amazing greed and drank down a liter of alcoholic beverage in attendance of customs officers.
After doing this "heroic" deed, the German required urgent medical aid. As told by the representatives of German police, this incident has taken place on Wednesday: the man was returning home to Dresden after the vacation in Egypt. He changed the plane in Nuremberg.
While passing the customs clearance the man refused to pay special charge and register the bottle of vodka he was carrying with him as a luggage. Instead, he decided to act simpler and more economically: to drink the whole bottle without walking away from customs clearance's desk.
Almost at once the greedy passenger has lost the ability to stand on his own legs, to speak audibly and also to behave adequately. Fearing for the man's health, customs officials have called in an ambulance, which carried the "sufferer" to the Nuremberg hospital. At this moment man's state of health doesn't cause concern, and, as told by the doctors, in a short time he can return home.
This is not the first time when passengers being unsatisfied with the customs rules drink alcoholic drinks right at the customs counters. The problem is that there are rules at the major airlines that allow not to admit a drunk passenger to the flight so such stories won't end happy even if you drink a bottle of beer - you are already officially not sober anymore.
There was another issue with already sober behavior of a passenger in the plane, when a man began arguing with the stewardess right after the takeoff and their discussion got hot enough so that the pilots have decided to turn the plane back. After the return of the plane, the crew members have passed the man to the police officers. However in that case, just like with the "heroic" German that has tried to insist on his "rights" to travel with lots of alcohol in the luggage, the policemen did not see anything criminal in the arguing with a stewardess. Nevertheless, the plane has left the airport again already without the passenger.
