Are you mad? It’s the only thing that makes the whole grisly experience of flying, bearable!

I don’t think alcohol should be banned, but they should control the amount either consumed or served before/during a flight and simply stop anyone at security who is drunk. Why should sensible travellers miss out on a brandy before flying (like my dad who is a nervous flyer) just because of people who have too much?

NO IT SHOULD NOT. END OF DISCUSSION!

Good lord no. Why should the actions of the inconsiderate few affect the gentle happy drinking majority? Perhaps if the punishment fit the crime, there’d be a lot less bother…

If alcohol causes so many problems it should be banned on aircraft. As to airports, perhaps that’s taking it too far!

Some Airlines are dry, mainly those in the Middle East… do not know if they have fewer problems.

I do not drink in the Air since I read what Alcohol does to you while flying.. Not good at all. Stick to water and juices!

I do not believe that alchol should be banned either on aircraft or at airports.

However, the intoxicated must be barred from boarding and onboard crew should restrict alchol to prevent intoxication being an issue.

Of course, I have never had a drink at Zurichs Terminal E which is pictured above.

Alcohol should not be banned on flights. The main issue with drunk passengers is those who get on tanked (virtually all airlines control how much alcohol is given out on the flight) and they shouldn’t be allowed on. Nearly everyone who has a drink is quite capable of flying in a dignified manner and rules should not be introduced for the very few. Are we going to ban over-70s flying because they are the greatest cause of medical emergencies in the air?

I agree with some people on here. I don’t think banning is the way forward, as some have said why should everyone suffer for the minority of people who take advantage. That being said I do understand concerns, so maybe some sort of restriction is the way forward…

Enough already with the ban this, stop that, Ohhh.. it causes a disruption…OMG. Considering the cramped seats and poor service maybe it would be best if they just knocked us all out, used a fork lift to load us like cargo and woke us up when we arrived. No security, no problems with meals (like most of us could not do with missing a few meals), no rude aisle blocking, oversized carry on stuffing people in front of you, no babies crying, no kids seat kicking, no fuss no muss.

Just think of the money everyone could save. And frankly with the level of “comfort” available and I do not see the airlines increasing the size of space for seating anytime soon, it would most likely be better for all of us. So no do not banned drinks, increase the size and potency and make them mandatory.

No!

Could you cope with a long airport delay and not even the relief of a pint at the bar?!
