"Dad has always had a fear of flying. They were the only times in my
childhood that I could recall him drinking. As a rule, he avoided
flying, we traveled by car if we were going anywhere, regardless of how
far it was, but sometimes he had to, and then it was a case of knocking
back whatever alcoholic drinks were available in the airport café."
Karl Ove Knausgaard, My Struggle Book 1.
