Last updated 10:52, December 13 2016
The pilot "congratulated" everyone for downing all of the alcohol on board during three-hour flight.
US passengers travelling to a football match managed to drink all the alcohol on board a plane; a "feat" which warranted a congratulations from the pilot.
What's even more "impressive"? The Southwest Airlines flight from California to Kansas City was only in the air for three-and-a-half hours.
Sports journalist Jimmy Durkin was on the flight on Thursday and tweeted about it:
The majority of people were American football fans travelling to support their team Oakland Raiders, who were playing the Kansas City Chiefs.
Despite downing all the drinks on board, Durkin said people were well-behaved and "yeah, a decent amount of folks in Raiders gear".
"Pretty standard fare for a flight to a city where the Raiders are playing," he told Fox News.
The number of air rage incidents have increased in recent years with calls for alcohol to be banned on flights completely.
There were 10,854 air rage incidents reported by airlines worldwide last year, with alcohol or drugs being cited as a factor in 23 per cent of the cases.
However, in the vast majority of incidents involving drugs or alcohol, the substances were consumed before boarding or imbibed secretly on board.
