I also fly extensivly (usually over 250k miles per year) and I agree to a point with what you are saying, but I do drink on my flights and to be honest it is probably the most expensive alcohol I ever drink when you factor in ticket price, but I still like to do it and would miss it. The diffrance is I do not get drunk or become beligerant when consuming it. The fact is some people should not drink on planes or to be honest at anytime given their behaviour. but people can not be stopped. Others drink because they are scared of flying, however I still do not understand why I can transit municipal airports at 07.00 and find bars open with pints being consumed which to be honest just seems to be asking for trouble. I would guess I am in the majority on this so would suggest that denying boarding to obviously drunken groups is the way to go, and if really draconian take away Passport as well.
