Why are airplanes any different to trains? They are just a means of transport, so why not ban booze for everyone on every domestic flight? The longest flight across the country rarely exceeds 5 hours. Going dry that long shouldn't be life-threatening even for a true alcoholic. How would someone with a skinfull go in an emergency evacuation? More of a worry, what is the risk to others if some legless moron gets in the way? But banning grog won't happen. It's all about revenue.
While on the subject of bad behavior, W.A. numberplates need a new slogan. "W.A. the Bogan State."

And fat people. Why is it that fat people are always the last to board, have oversize luggage that won't go in the overhead without a major redistribution of everything else and always book the centre seat? Well,
probably they didn't actually book it - they got what was left over because they were almost too late at check in. Airborne, they are the first to get up for a p!ss, seem to take forever in the dunny (what do people actually DO in there?) and repeat the whole shuffle every 20 minutes until destination. At which point they block the aisles getting their luggage out of the overhead and take the longest to get down the steps. Ban them, says I.
