Swilling a bottle of cognac in front of airport security: idiotic, or genius?

What you don't want to do with your expensive bottle of cognac you thought you could transport in your carry-on: Chug it so it doesn't go to waste. That's what a woman in China did. She didn't waste it, but she also didn't get on the flight because she was too drunk to fly.

The Transportation Security Administration says passengers toss drinks as diverse as water and whiskey at security checkpoints. Fliers do rush to finish off the odd bottle of water or coffee, but liquor-chugging isn't the norm.

Media reports say the woman collapsed after drinking a full bottle of Remy Martin XO Excellence (valued at around $185) at China's Beijing Capital International Airport.
