Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Hoburn. My name is Dan Schreiber. I'm sitting here with James Harkin, Anna Tashinsky, and

Andrew Hunter Murray. And once again, we have gathered round the microphones with our four

favorite facts from the last seven days, in no particular order here we go.

Starting with fact number one and that is my fact. My fact this week is that in

1950s America flight attendants consulted an alcohol chart of the sky so they knew when they were allowed to serve booze.

Wow. Yeah. So is that because it must be because some parts of America you can't drink but does that does that mean

Colorado goes all the way up to the

Oh Where does it end does the ISS are they not allowed to drink their snuck up portions of booze that they hide?

Yeah. This is the 1950s where there were a lot of dry states in America and that dry ban

expanded all the way up to 30,000 feet into the air.

I suppose it makes sense because let's say you lived in a dry county

and you thought well I'm going to get out of this I'm going to hire a hot air balloon

and I'm just going to get out of this I'm going to hire a hot air balloon

and I'm just going to float off the ground and drink a load of booze it makes

sense that they stop that from happening yeah did my first thought exactly

you used to be able to go offshore didn't you that's true how people will get around it but so this is the issue is that

obviously you're in a plane that's flying over multiple states do all laws apply above all

the same you know there's like 12 weird laws it's like you're not allowed to like kick a horse in Ohio on a

Sunday.

I get flying over in a plane and you're like, stop kicking in that horse.

Anyone intending to marry a second wife is now allowed for the next 30 minutes?

I did, was it the case that you'd have to say quickly down it we're about to hit
