Post In Flight Drinking

If an airline can sell me litres of duty free spirits for £10 why do they charge £2 for a miniature? If I choose to bring a small quantity of my own gin or whatever on board and drink it am I in breach of some unenforceable airline regulation or is there some Air Navigation Order that actually has the power to make such an act illegal? I am aware of the rules about being fit to operate emergency exits, not opening your duty free in flight, not being drunk on board, being denied boarding if apparently unfit through drink etc.

The Daily Telegraph had an article some months back saying that it wasn't illegal. I don't want to get drunk but I don't want to pay £5 for a double gin and tonic in International Airspace either!
