You think this is a plausible reason?
Did this happen with you?
If that's the case I would find it very awkward since part of the crew's duties includes running several services, such as the hot towel, pre departure drinks, coffee and dates, handing out the menus etc. So if someone cited safety as a reason for skipping the drinks service, I'd ask to have a quick word with the flight purser.
