Edinburgh Airport's Starbucks has lost a bid to serve alcohol from 5am after councillors feared some would make the journey there to take advantage of the early licence.
Concerns about the airport becoming a starting point for revellers on bar crawls and travellers "preloading" before flights were raised at a council meeting.
The suggestion that people would "go to the airport to have a drink in Starbucks" left some astounded however, as councillors were urged to "be real".
