> because boarding is the worst time to be inebriated.
The drunk people who wind up causing the plane to be diverted in the air seem 100x worse than someone needing to be escorted away from the plane at the gate.
OK, fine, ban drinking/alcohol at airports. Or if you’re intoxicated on a flight you get banned from flying with that airline again. There are so many options here.
Can just drink in your car, people would do it. I'd probably do it. Why? Because drinking makes the flight go fast and it's fun, especially if you're flying to go on vacation.
I don't drink a lot, but like going to a baseball game - drinking and flying is fun. Goes well together.
Why don’t we just ban drinking altogether then? And while we’re at it, if you’re irritated about something perhaps just keep it to yourself. Society doesn’t have time for discontent or deviation from the norm.
I realize that but I was following that author’s other posts and they just seem into restricting the rights of everyone to prevent disorderly conduct. So where does it stop??
It was a “throwaway” so I suppose I shouldn’t expect actual discourse.
