Doyle was a flight attendant on WWE's chartered journey back to the United States following a May 2002 European tour, and she'll never forget the carnage she witnessed. Incredibly, it all started before the wheels had gone up and the plane was in the air.

WWE's flight was grounded on tarmac and delayed for seven long hours due to complications. Bored and restless, the wrestlers on board decided to tear into the booze onboard and entertain themselves by getting positively sh*tfaced. According to Heidi, the crew necked a full three carts of liquor before take off.

Note the wording there. That's carts, not bottles. Basically, WWE's stars hammered three minibars during those seven hours, and Doyle says the drinking didn't stop there. She also noted that nobody could've stopped the unruly wrasslers from getting to the booze if they'd tried.
