Quote: Why do we have to have alcohol at airports anyway?Or on flights?Medically its not good for you when flying so get rid of it I say!I can go 12 hours without a drink,can go a lot longer if I want ,can you?
Because lots of ordinary, sensible people enjoy a glass of beer or a wine whilst passing the time and avoiding the overpriced shops that infest airports.
Lots of people can go 12 hours without alcohol but in a free society that should not be forced, al la Saudi Arabia, on everyone.
I don't know how airport bar staff could limit drinks to the travellers who abuse the facility. They usually hunt in packs and a different one goes to bar and orders each round of drinks.
