They should do that here as well.
Booze affects you more in the air than on the ground. I know Southwest has a zero tolerance policy about letting even slightly inebriated people board. Others are more flexible.
Drunk people are definite safety risk on a flight.
3 million air miles — all USA/CAN/MEX — talking here.
I know people who won’t even get on a plane unless they’ve first knocked down a few shots.
Getting drunk is what the Brits do best these days.

I am not even coming close to suggesting teatoalling. Many is the time where I and my brand new line BFFs have adjourned to the club during delays where we knocked down more than a few (but not a few too many).
It is truly drunks that are the problem — just like in bars.
Too many of the serious drunks fly First Class.
And the airlines will never crack-down on THEM.

I have seen them escorted off from 1st before takeoff. I have also seen people cut off up there.
But yeah, they are more flexible in 1st where we get free booze.
For the most part if you just quietly sit there and mind your own business they will leave you alone and serve you.
Too much trouble to give knockout hypos like on the A Team.
It’d solve a lot of passenger problems.
Banning drunken hen party groups may be a good first start. A quick search came up with this drunken group of scousers -
And, not to be outdone, a group of Scots -
Must be a socialist thing. They are catching up to the Russians.

I’m actually surprised that in 2018 alcohol is still being sold on flights considering everything else has been nannified. I expect these days are numbered.

Good!

I would worry more about the pilots getting drunk.

That’s discrimination. Inebrephobia!
José Jiménez: “My name... José Jiménez.”
Ed Sullivan: “Well, now I see you have some of your space equipment with you. Uh, what is that called, the crash helmet?”
José Jiménez: “Oh, I hope not.”
Ed Sullivan: “Now, what do you consider the most important thing in rocket travel?”
José Jiménez: “To me the most important thing in the rocket travel is the blast-off.”
Ed Sullivan: “The blast-off.”
José Jiménez: “I always take a blast before I take off. Otherwise I wouldn’t go near that thing.”
And they need to stop going to places like Krakow for their drunken stag parties.
