I’m sure there are many people like me, who having boarded the aircraft at the beginning of the holiday, enjoy being able to relax, have a drink, and cease to worry about overweight baggage, lost ticket/passport,missed connections,etc. That alcoholic drink really goes down well!
However, the whole situation is going to be spoiled if we find ourselves surrounded by drunks. (and I’m not whiter than white – I used to play Rugby too).
So the bottom line is – sad as it may be, no booze on the aircraft and a breath test before boarding.
But it won’t happen, will it?;)

Excellent report, and shows what can go wrong before and after we use the aircraft!
Had one myself last year, returning from Vienna to LHR, everything fine until we get stacked, then after landing, no coach available to take us from the stand to the terminal (yes. at Heathrow!). Eventually get a bus to the train station, but the train is terminated before Southampton. Get taxi, but miss the ferry home,have to stay in hotel for the night.

Helicopters can’t crash! Wow!:confused:

Look at it this way BMused55, given enough paint and filler, they can even make Cher look good!:p
