In the 29 July 2016 edition of the Independent, their travel correspondent Simon Calder wrote about this subject. He informed readers that UK aviation minister Lord Ahmad had vowed to tackle drink - fuelled air rage.
Simon Calder`s comment was:
"My research on two years of Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) “reportable occurrences” of air rage show alcohol is the principle trigger of inflight disruption. In the two years to March 2016 an average of four people a week were arrested on suspicion of being drunk on a plane or at an airport. And worldwide, one aviation security expert estimates alcohol-fuelled air rage affects around 50 flights a day."
Simon raised a number of questions, an interesting one is what could happen in an emergency evacuation. Would a paraletic moron, totally sozzled out of its (cannot possibly refer to such loathsome creatures as his/her ) miniscule brain not present a fearful danger to itself and all others who chance the misfortune of sharing a cabin with it. And if there is a group of them, then surely any measure of risk is bound to go exponentially off the scale.

To all those who consider that there are "half measures", I`d say forget it, those imbeciles don`t go by half measures, they would quite happily drink a distillery dry and still ask for more.
