Of all the crazy stories of Flair pushing himself to the physical limit, one of the most wince-inducing combines his love of alcohol with an insane travel schedule.

Flair said, "I have done everything wrong to myself. I went back and forth to Japan three times in two-and-a-half days and I drank all the way, thirteen hours, all three ways. I got off the plane, got to the ring and had to wrestle an hour."

Quite why Flair had to travel back-and-forth between countries in such a short space of time is anyone's guess, but in his defense, can anyone blame him for wanting to drink after spending so much time in planes over such a brief period?
