Was just pointing out the factors mitigating towards longer queues at the loos... and diuretic drinks are on that list - don't shoot the messenger!
As far as dehydration is concerned, it's probably
too late once on-board and slightly dehydrated, as it can take 2 days to rehydrate. Ideally one should be hydrating several days
before a long flight, and not exacerbating the situation at altitude by drinking lots of alcohol or coffee.
But of course, we can't 'tell' people what to do, maybe there is some small print in the 'recommendations to pax' when booking a long distance flight
Heaven forfend - we might offend... however well intentioned!
As for 'duty-free profits', why the heck can't that be sorted out at destination, without carrying tons of it around at 35,000 ft and Mach .8 something or other... surely that's not be beyond the wit of man or enterprise, nor negotiation
