Busting the alcohol rules will always bring trouble and quite rightly so.

I don't disagree with your statement, but. The problem is, if you remove the solidarity of trust between crew members, what replaces it? Trust in management processes to do the right thing? The camaraderie of a crew, particularly on long haul trips, to look after each others interests, is pretty important, not least because in an emergency situation you have to trust all of them.
Unfortunately, reporting a colleague for any misdemeanour has become the norm across most workplaces in the West, IMHO it is as destructive as the inability to challange any misdemeanour seen in other parts of the world.
