I'm Denzel

I’m Denzel (phrase) - A humorous way to admit you’re drunk on a plane, inspired by Denzel Washington’s character in the 2012 movie Flight, where he plays a pilot flying under the influence. Usually said with a wink, implying you might not be steering the ship, but you’re definitely feeling the turbulence.

“Yeah, I had a few too many at the airport bar, so by the time we took off, "I'm Denzel’ for the whole flight.”
