I see this is becoming a regular occurrence with certain people thinking its ok to behave like this where there making other passengers suffer, causing delays or even a divert which is shocking behaviour.
I'm not begrudging anyone a drink before a flight.
I've done that myself and had 2 pints, but not to the extent I end up a d*unken nuisance.
I was thinking getting these sort of people banned from flying for a few years, or hit them with a huge bill for causing a delay or divert, you think that would make them think twice.
Anyone else had this problem and suggest any solutions |

We came back off holiday and a guy supped a full bottle of Prosecco on the plane!! A big bottle!!
He didn't cause a problem but was a little loud.
Alcohol on planes should be banned and if you look suspect boarding, you should be breathalysed. |

I know breathalyser would be good if person was well d*unk and being rowdy.
Even like i said, I've had a drink.
But would urge people to drink responsibly.
You don't want to ruin the holiday for yourself and other people on plane will be REALLY angry at you. |

I sympathise with considerate drinkers and nervous flyer's who find a drink calms their nerves...
But having made a lot of long haul flights including flights to and from Australia where a 9 hour flight was immediately followed by 15 hour with only the briefest stop-over in Dubai or Singapore I can honestly say there is no-one incapable of doing any commercial flight without a alcoholic drink.....  |

D*unk, aggressive and rowdy people are a pain anywhere. On a plane they're a potential danger. I don't know what the answer is, the flight crew have enough to do without trying to suss out potential d*unken half wits. |

True that d*unk aggressive/rowdy a pain anywhere.
Just that on a plane it's confined and dangerous. |

I am a nervous flyer but fly without medication now due to a mishap. I went to a different Dr for my meds prior to a holiday, came home, threw meds in bag without looking at them. My flying routine was 2 drinks and wash down tablet 30 mins before flight. We were delayed at security due to volumes of people checking through. I managed 1 drink, boarded flight, had another drink and washed down tablet...half way to my destination I was the girl from the bridesmaids movie!!! Dr had changed prescription from mild to valium which was a complete wash out. Not relaying the details beyond that point but I am surprised I made it to my destination. It was not my intention to behave like that or to over indulge that was accidental. I was disgusted but on the up side I am now flying without using meds as my fear of that happening again and being grounded overtook my fear of flying |

This could apply to trains too.
Taking a journey from Manchester to Birmingham and it happened to be after a match day. We had some d*unk football fans on the train who continued to drink more and tried to get the train to join in with their football chants. It's 7/8pm and people just wanted to get home.
It was annoying to say the least. The guy sat behind the 'singer' eventually told them to shut up, which they did for 10 minutes. |

I'd hate this.  .
Train heaving/busy and people just wanting to get home.
Obviously that d*unken/loud lot had other ideas. |

a quandary, could you change my mind? |
"Selling alcohol to someone who is d*unk
It is illegal to knowingly sell alcohol, or attempt to sell alcohol, to a person who is d*unk. It is also illegal to allow alcohol to be sold to someone who is d*unk"
Sometimes its the corporate machine not taking responsibility.
On the flip side, my alcohol consumption varies and could feel inebriated after one or two, or felt OK then some fresh air and bang yes I'm tiddly.
The responsibility lies with the d*unk person but unfortunately ultimately with the staff allowing them on the flight.

I used to work on Ferry and Port security and regs where I worked were stringent. Anyone showing signs of being intoxicated at check in then at our passport checks were held till Ship's Police assessed them. If let on board they knew that to step out of line would mean shut up in the ship's cells & handed over to authorities in the destination port. Plus a ban on returning on that route. If they didn't pass muster with the ship police then they didn't travel at all! Simple! |

D*unk and rowdy people on a plane are a pain. But the number of incidents compared to the number of people who travel is small.
I think certain airlines have realised that passengers are not buying their over priced alcohol and want to use this is as an excuse to take out the competition at the airport.

We drink diet on the plane, we never do alcohol. A bottle of vodka, wine and lager on the holiday but never a drop on the plane. |
