A fifth of Brits feel peer pressured into having a pint at the airport, according to a new study.
While ordering a frosty glass of lager or hearty ale to keep you company in the terminal may feel like one of the grand British traditions, not everyone is on board with the practice.
One in five holiday makers polled by the survey felt pressured to drink at the airport, with those in Northern Ireland feeling this pressure.
The study, conducted by MoneyTransfers.com, looked at drinking travel trends during dry January, when around one in seven Brits are believed to be forgoing drinking.
The USA ranks as the number one choice for tee-totallers travelling abroad, followed by the warm and welcoming Turkey, with Italy, Spain and Australia making up a sunny top five.
Not everyone has the time or resources to go abroad, especially during the winter, so for those interested in enjoying the best of Britain during dry January, the most popular destination for teetotallers was London.
Cornwall ranks second, followed by Edinburgh, Manchester and Devon making up the top five.
MoneyTransfers.com founder Jonathan Merry said: "It’s no secret that people are likely to drink more when they’re on holiday, but dry January has historically been a fantastic opportunity for people to pull together and cut down on the alcohol.
"With freezing weather and high energy costs, maybe we’ve been missing a trick by not combining dry January with a trip to a warmer country."
For those who do like a pre-flight pint, there is a warning: boozy Brits face missing their holidays if they indulge too heavily in the pre-flight pints.
At Christmas, London Stansted warned passengers that if they turned up at the check-in gate too far gone, they'd have to stay on solid ground, even if their flight departed in the meantime.
In a Tweet, the airport reminded passengers about the One Too Many campaign.
"Did you know that if you are deemed unfit to fly, you may be denied boarding and you could face up to two years in jail for disrupting a flight?" the airport wrote.
Passengers are encouraged to drink and behave responsibly while warning about the severe consequences for those who break the rules.
Drunk fliers who are too disruptive could get fined £5,000 and receive a prison sentence of up to two years.
If you're so drunk that a plane has to be diverted because of your actions, an £80,000 fine may follow.
