Aeroplane passengers should be restricted to two drinks at airports, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary has said.
Mr O’Leary said introducing alcohol limits at airports would help tackle a rise in disorder on flights.
Violent outbursts are occurring weekly due to alcohol, he said, especially when it is mixed with other substances.
“We don’t want to begrudge people having a drink,” he told the Daily Telegraph.
“But we don’t allow people to drink-drive, yet we keep putting them up in aircraft at 33,000ft.”
You could tie it to your ticket like a punch card. When the bar does the standard Id check they’d also check your boarding pass and check if the name is the same then mark it / digitally update it. Even if they don’t do a limit at the airport it would still be good to let the attendants on the flight know “alright this guy’s already had 5 beers, don’t serve him anything on the flight”
You’d need every airport to be in on the same system… otherwise you’ll end up with 2 drinks at phx, 2 drinks at atl, and 2 drinks at jfk.
Consider how long it takes to fly between each of those airports. I’ll be completely sober by landing, and ready for another couple rounds considering I’ve got two fucking layovers.
Sounds like you’re exactly the person that needs this policy then.
Well, at least you’re forcing people to pace themselves.
Eh if it’s 20 minutes flights it might not be enough for those who magically can’t control themselves while drunk.
Just another policy that would hurt people who can actually exert some form of control over themself.
My dude, have you ever been on a flight that’s only 20 minutes?
I haven’t even gone throufh an airport terminal in only 20 minutes.
yes.
Good thing I said nothing about time in the terminal and was only talking about flights.
