No Cruise Booze makes me happy!
The recent incidents of drunken passengers and assaults on aircrew and the public (the customers), is, unfortunately, nothing new.
This leads me to question why airlines bother
to serve alcohol at all on flights. As has been pointed out on a post on the questions forum, most airlines prohibit smoking, so why not alcohol?
The exagerated effects of booze in flight are well known, and it would also impede any emergency evacuation, not to mention that carrying the stuff in the first place must impose some fuel penalty.
There are of course many other good reasons to ban it, but I just wondered:
1 - Does your airline have a good reason to serve alcohol in flight, (other than to make a lot of money when operating a pay bar).
2 - Do you, as potentially no. 1 in the firing line, think it should be banned.
I know that in a lot of cases, passengers get tanked up before boarding, but better judgement at the gate should be enforced,(IMHO)!
