I usually put a bottle of booze in my carry on bag, and drink it with my complimentary Coke/Pepsi, repeatedly topping it off until the ice is gone. Some people look and must think I'm insane or alcoholic. Others have been known to celebrate "having a seat in the right place" (i.e., next to the guy sharing the booze). Of course, I always travel with some sort of dried pepper or hot sauce.
