Since these were mixed drinks made in the galley, we both agreed it possible they'd been watered down a bit.
I regularly get two drinks in on my LAX - SFO hops. Was once offered a third on an LAX - LAS flight (but you'd imagine they're more liberal on that route). I think it tends to help that I spent 99% of my time in the air doing a Sunday NYT or Sunday Chicago Tribune crossword. How impaired could I be and still be making progress?!
