Interesting to note that whichever way the airline turns, it can not be the 'fault' of the individual customer involved, who of course has the freedom to choose whether to consume alcohol or not, and whether to get drunk or not.

Jet2LeedsTom - this post, and your previous thread about flying and drinking are something of a worry. Why don't you, and your friends, try and get through a flight without alcohol as a panacea for everything? That's right, no booze at all, just a normal day, getting through a slightly boring journey without getting legless. Millions of people manage this daily and many of them consider it a sign of maturity.
