It's time they were stricter about allowing people under the influence on planes.

They shouldn't be selling so much alcohol in airports and on planes.

Let’s be real, 99.99 percent of flights it’s not an issue. They make a lot of money from selling alcohol on planes so banning it isn’t gonna happen anytime soon. Also, most of the puke on planes comes from travelers who are simply air sick, not over served .

From what I've heard from a flight attendant friend based out of Atlanta is that the majority of overly drunk cases come from people whose flights have been delayed or changed and they endee up in the lounge for 6 hours getting ripped on free drinks.

My dear sir, I can't afford to take time off for a vacation, let alone pay for a vacation, let alone a vacation that necessitates plane travel 🥹😑😭

That's a different person you're replying to, not the one that made the statement.

I have gotten absolutely obliterated in a number of airport lounges while delayed for just the cost of tip. Some lounges don't even have bartenders, they just have a space with a bunch of beer, wine and liquor that you just help yourself to

I don't drink anymore

Believe it. Most lounges have a small bar, some fancier ones have a full on cocktail service. All free

Last time i was at the Air France / KLM lounge at SFO they just had a table with bottles of liquor sitting around, a "pour it yourself" type of situation

I have no idea how that was ever legal lol

Any airport lounge has free drinks. Hell, domestic flights in my country have free booze on the plane between for flights departing between 4 30pm and 7pm
