9. They operate the BEST water system

No queuing. Just pop in €1.

Kudos to Dublin airport for this. (Relatively) cheap water, and payment on honor system pic.twitter.com/fBxiInp4Do

10. Indeed, it has rescued many a hungover person

Dublin airport has "honour system" bottled water kiosk - take a bottle, pay a euro. Honour not strong in hungover groups going through today

11. Nobody judges you for drinking at ridiculous hours

A pint of Heineken at 8am? No judgment, my friend.

The bar in Dublin airport is packed before 6am. A lot of green jerseys can be spotted. Braver souls than me at this hour 🍻
