"It is an offence under the Air Navigation Order to be carried aboard any aircraft whilst intoxicated through drink. Simple! " I think some people are good at hiding it until on the plane! Although, the incident I am referring to was a few years ago. It was just one of those nightmare flights ! I clapped when we landed! | |||

"Lots of recent incidents regarding idiots being d*unk and causing issues on a plane. Never had a drink on a plane and wouldn't bother me if it wasn't available anyway. Bet it's got nothing to do with Ryan Air wanting you to buy their drink though. " That's what I thought. If they are still serving it, in flight, it kind of doesn't add up and you are not supposed to drink your own alcohol anyway. Whoever the carrier is. | |||

"Got to admit i've never been on a flight where there were d*unks causing problems. Scary thought tho" I have and it was a bloody frightening experience. d*unk woman trying to open the emergency exit, screaming at the passengers & crew who were preventing her from exiting @ 33,000 feet..!! She was restrained in a seat at the front of the cabin, one way to get into business class I suppose.... | |||

"Evacuating a downed aeroplane is risky enough sober - what it must be like in the company of a bunch of pissed up passengers I dread to think. At least restricting alcohol to that provided by the crew allows them a degree of control about how much is is handed out and to whom." But how will the person handing out the drinks know how much that person can take. they could end up a nutter after 2. | |||

"Your not allowed to drink your duty free drink on a Thomson flight. Not sure if that applies on any others (other than Ryanair)" As far as I know you're not allowed to consume duty free on airlines full stop, but people do. Depends on where I'm flying too and who I'm with if I have a drink or not ~ realistically on a shorthaul busy flight I'd probably see the crew a couple of times. No need to treat the plane like a flying pub! | |||

Where as the regular flights people may be louder but generally they are enjoying themselves with thier friends and not actually causing any problems . Most companies like jet2 and easy jet have a rep checking in large groups (stag/hen dos) and will remove the whole group if one person is deemed not fit enough to fly. | |||

I rarely drink on the plane, I'm not a fan of flying so usually go to sleep. If I do have a drink it's normally 1 baileys. | |||

But the one about how much passengers on a downed aircraft had drank was the best. Think a few pissed up Charlies is the least of your problems on a plane that's going down. You are about to be smashed to a million bloody bits, can we form an orderly queue for the toilets please. Stop singing loudly at the back | |||

"Having been on 14 flights in the past six weeks to all the party capitals . I can say that all carriers still serve drinks in their flights. Most don't stop you from drinking duty free you have bought . However Ryan air have banned it and will remove it from you if they see you drinking it. I personally normally have a few drinks at the airport before a flight and a couple on board . The drinks are not expensive and normally they have an offer on if you buy more than one. Bruce " Its been proven 1 flight is the equivalent to 1 x-ray 14 flights in 6 weeks is a lot of radiation going into your body | |||

"I thought you weren't allowed to carry more than 100ml in any one container in hand luggage so how are people able to open duty free and get wasted? Personally I never drink alcohol before or during a flight, neither does Zed. E x " It's 100ml through security. Duty Free is airside, sealed and therefore exempt. | |||

"I remember when smoking on planes was allowed. How bonkers is that when you think about it!" Can't imagine it now - sitting in a smog of smoke whilst in a confined space and thinking it's fine. Amazing how times have changed in a relatively short time. | |||

Amazing how times have changed in a relatively short time. " Thing is, despite the smell of smoke the air quality was better when smoking was allowed as they used to pull air in from outside the plane. Now they just continuously recirculate the internal air. But it did make me laugh when it was rows 20 and back that were smoking seats - of course the smoke didn't travel! | |||

"So many typical posts on here about banning all alcohol. If people get so d*unk they can't behave deal with them, blanket bans on ordinary decent people is a joke. If I have two cans of beer on a plane I'm not d*unk or a pain to anyone why should I be penalised because others are dicks? If you don't want a drink fine but why can't I? " Same reason they banned guns when one loony shot a school full of children. It's basically safer for everyone | |||

"It's just a money making scam, you can't take any drinks through airport security but you can buy the airports drinks at highly inflated prices, you cant drink anything you buy from the airport, but can buy drinks on the plane for a doubly inflated price. It's just a way of making money through 'captive audience' tactics " As long as folk are willing to pay silly prices, they will charge silly prices. | |||

"Hello Soxy, "I reckon anyone who objects to the idea of going without alcohol for the duration of a flight, a bus or coach or train journey, needs to re-consider their priorities..." What a peculiar point of view, and rather patronising? Alec " What is peculiar and patronising about it? Anyone who finds it difficult not to drink alcohol should consider their reliability on it. | |||

" Apparently - One drink in the air is equal to three on land. According to the UK's flight regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), low air pressure when flying effectively thins the blood. That means the effects of alcohol can be stronger. " well that would explain the air france flight i took with a few arsenal friends of mine to paris to a cup final.... we were sober leaving I swear... an hour in the air... landed at charles de galle staggering around d*unk as skunks!!!! well... part of that might be when we found out the drinks were free... I swear i only had 4 tops!!!! | |||
