If I'm in F on a top-shelf foreign carrier, I'm not going to pass up on the booze...I might end up sampling quite a bit, mixing liquors, etc. If I'm in F on UA or AA, I'll just have a couple Scotches and maybe some wine if they happen to have anything onboard that's fit for human consumption.

Similar to what works for me. I just wish the TATLs were longer eastbound from IAD. Impossible to get anything like a full night's sleep, as the CC don't wind down their commotion until a good 60-90 minutes into the flight and then start up again 60-90 minutes before landing.
