Allowing pax access to their own duty-free alcohol is madness IMO.
SLF point of view. I'd want to buy before flying, but if it had to be retained by airport/airline staff for transport in the hold then perfect. One less thing to carry!
The airports are a big part of the problem. Barmen in the departure lounge bars are failing in their duty under licensing regulations to stop serving alcohol to people who've had enough. In theory they can lose their alcohol license on the spot. There's plenty of cops around, they must surely spot transgressions.
We have the laws necessary for dealing with the problem, they just need to be applied. New rules aren't going to help.
