drinking on long haul flights

[irishman12]

Should be banned as far as I'm concerned....fed up with having to put up with noisy drunken idiots.

If smokers can manage without cigs...

so all bars /pubs should be closed down too?if there are drunk people?its airline responsibility to deal with these issues in appropriate way ,my post said -not being drunk

Oh, sorry not to conform perfectly with my reply.

Your bar/pubs analogy is ridiculous.
You can get up and leave a drinking establishment anytime you choose to do so.

What do you want people on a plane with small children to do, when having to put up with drunken morons using foul language ? Jump out of the emergency exit ?

Happened to me.
I'll tell what I did.
I collared the when he went off to the toilet and gave him a quiet smack on the nose. That cured him !

Ban it I say.

I was a regular traveler to Saudi Arabia for a couple of years, and yes, like Graham have seen a number of instances where drink has made the flights uncomfortable for those around these idiots. For many, the airport lounge was the last place to drink before a few months of being in a 'dry state' and many times i saw both westerners and Arabs stumbling to the gate.
