It all comes down how you present yourself. Despite the dress code having been relaxed, I always stick to the old dress code when flying non-rev (=dress pants and dress shirt being a minimum). Except for the meal choice issue, I actually felt taken care of even better than as a PM. This especially holds true if you gotta suck it up in Y rather than J or F.
As for alcohol consumption, I've never had any experience with being denied any refills - the only thing I can tell you that my buddies at Delta have told me is that if you start to appear intoxicated, any good crew will cut you off the alcohol supply instantaneously.
But as long as you behave like a regular business traveller with good manners, you certainly will enjoy the inflight experience (except for the meal issue as previously mentioned) to the fullest extent.

No, there isn't. As a matter of fact, it's prohibited.
