The nanny state is not a solution, personal responsibility is. Drunk and disorderly ought to have consequences- from being prohibited from buying alcohol on a plane to higher ticket prices, to full flight banning, like a passenger credit rating that could be shared amongst all airlines; we have the technology. It's not like flying isn't already half miserable. Getting overcharged for crappy wine and liquor while stuck in a seat designed to be comfortable for an average 9 year old, a stiff drink is one of the few pleasures left.

So - group punishment for all because a few cannot control themselves.?

I rarely drink alcohol on domestic flights - mostly because I am driving when landing. However on international flights - I enjoy wine and champagne with meals.

Limiting the number of drinks per hour seems like a logical answer - similiar to the social laws a bartender must observe on the ground.
