So, who let this idiot on the plane in the first place?

And why did the cabin crew allow him to drink so much alcohol of the flight?

Because like most cabin crew, they are useless.

I'm not sure about your state of mind, but I have never had a reason to complain about cabin staff, Reading your comments it appears you have a huge chip on your shoulder, and need intervention.

[MickGC]

This is exactly the reason I prefer not to drink with Aussies....

Good. You would probably just bore the life out of them anyway and being Aussies they would be too polite to ask you to leave. Especially if it's your shout !!

sorry but this topic is linked to alcohol not Australia.

The guy could have been Russian, Thai, a Brit teen, a Finnish, etc.

Could have, but wasn't.

This is alcoholism, coupled with the mores of a country that does not have a tangible, identified "culture", outside sport, barbecues, self importance, arrogance, alcoholism and insensitivity. Sport is most important in Australia because it has little else, other than an indigenous population who are on the nose, as we call it. They had culture. We did everything we could to destroy it.

I know fantastic people in Australia, but I am talking here about the media fed self image for the masses.

A country that is easy on crime. Easy on disgusting behaviour and easy on alcohol and violence on the streets.

Loud and obnoxious, all too often the voices you hear raised in Asian countries are Australian. The capital of the "king hit" killing.

Walk up to someone you don't know in Australia, kill them with a hit to the head and you get some community service penalty, because

you were drunk. This is a fact.

Its a joke.

My Indonesian ex-wife, knowing I had two passports, British and Australian, never introduced me as an Australian in her own country.

Guess why? Here you see it, in its pristine glory. This tolerance is brought about by an obsession with political correctness, from which unrealistic tolerance breeds this sort of socially acceptable behaviour in Australia. They find it amusing.

Easy solution. Hand back your Aussie passport and go live somewhere else if the place upsets you so much. No need to keep putting yourself through so much stress living amongst them all the time.

Just knock honey out. Who cares about these.

Just had a look at the list of countries in the world who drink the most alcohol, aged 15+, in litres per capita per year.

Seems like us Aussies are not as thirsty as many other countries, we came in at #44 on the list.

We were out-drunk by countries like - Ireland, France, Russia, the UK, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden and the Netherlands.

I wonder if anyone from any of these countries has had a go at the Aussie who wasted himself in Phuket ?

Thing is, if you are unfortunate enough to have to live in any one of those countries it is enough to send you to drink !

I think the Brits take some beating, when it comes to alcohol consumption..

But once the Scots get their independence our average will come down to normal.

It's idiots like this that make me ashamed to be an Australian I feel so sorry for the Thai people and other who viewed this event,

I'm sorry

Maybe the guy is a fan and was trying to break his 'most stubbies on a single flight' record?

You can't insult an Aussie the problem is when you dump a load a load of &lt;deleted&gt; on us and we ask for the lettuce then others get offended.

Your articulation seems very powerful and well compressed.

Unfortunately, as non-native English speaker, I sometimes fail to understand the full scope of the words and idioms. Would you, please, elaborate your comments a bit further so that, us - the lesser people, could understand the full meaning of your wise words.

Lesser people? What? Don't think like that! Aussie's don't buy 'lesser people' BS, that's part of the crap we left behind in the 'old world'. Oops, spelt that wrong, I meant 'olde worlde'

You're a LEGEND too mate! You're living, breathing, having a giggle, slinging a bit of crap, copping a bit back...

Guys like that, just kick them out.... Oh, now I see that he is in Patong, Phuket. No worries, mate, you are in the right place

Yup, the guy JC restored to life after 3 days. Not really sure how it ties in with being drunk...

David Boon is a legendary Australian Cricketer, but also a legend for his drinking exploits.

On a flight between London and Sydney for the 1989 Ashes series, Boonie, known as "the keg on legs", set the record for most beer consumed on the flight - 52 cans of full strength beer.

This record will, most likely, never be broken, as I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to serve you that many tinnies nowadays.

“He was shouting and verbally abusing staff, scaring them, before he collapsed again unconscious in an emergency treatment room,” a nurse told the Phuket Gazette.

So, what did he do that was different from your regular Ozzie tourist?

[loongdavid]

What a lot of stupid, ill-informed and infantile comments this thread is attracting. I think it's about time it was closed down.

Here, have a beer and relax. Just a bunch of Aussies having a laugh at ourselves, smiling is not offensive.

[davetrout]

"An Australian man who passed out drunk during his flight to Phuket was carried off the plane still unconscious on arrival yesterday and rushed to Thalang Hospital."

Best way to get through immigration without filling any forms and show passport and visa, BIB even escort you to your hotel for free, thanks for good travel information, now I know how to enter Thailand on my next trip.

good stuff

Errr... let me rephrase that... YOU are! You're a LEGEND son!

The subject of this entire thread is already a LEGEND, he's already attained that exalted status, and now you have to.

Arise, Sir gerger! (LEGEND!!!).

So tell me, how's the view from up there?

[roadking96cube]

Should have been thrown in a cell and made to donate 1,000,000 to the hospital in recompense for the appalling behavior.

Wonder where the "Mates" are/were?

These "brave" Aussie drunkards are usually to be found in packs !

He has got a real Aussie sounding name hasn't he just because he flew from Australia doesn't make him Australian.As for found in drunken pack's really show what a imbecile you really are probably a pom still not over the cricket.

Cathy Freeman is not a real Aussie sounding name either but she is aboriginal. Freeman sounds more Irish than Aboriginal. Not all Australians have traditional aussie names like Elea Namatjira
