A note from the country where the word "vodka" comes from.

Obviously, the issue with alcohol-induced behavior onboard the aircraft was well-known here (note the past tense). Nowadays, most, if not all, local airlines impose a blanket ban on consuming any alcohol on board, including those Duty Free items. The only exemption is the alcohol offered and purchased in flight; however, none is offered in Economy class. Then, a few high-profile cases ending with a lengthy jail terms helped to soothe the things down a bit, too.

Did the air travel grind to a halt? No, not at all. Was the problem solved? Not entirely, but it has become manageable.

No compassion to those who can't survive a hour-long flight without a shot, really.
