Tango,

International Economy? Which airline is that? I may change airlines!

PAUL PALMER,

Exactly what I said!!!

opus17,

"A flight"? Exactly how do you define "a flight"? LAX to LAS or LAX to SYD? Big difference between a 30 minutes LAS flight vs. a 15 hour SYD flight!

I agree that alcohol dries you out, and it's much better to drink water onboard. But who set you up as arbiter as to what others drink?

Many drink onboard due to sheer boredom. I know sometimes I drink in order to get a bit of sleep in a not too comfortable seat. I almost never drink Bloody Mary's, but I drink them regularly on board.

If a passenger gets rude and obnoxious due to alcohol, I think you've got a very legitimate beef!!!

But if he/she sits quietly knocking off more drinks than you personally approve of, what is your problem??? He/she isn't hurting you or disturbing you! So why are you concerned about how many drinks he/she is putting down? And if he/she does in fact have "a bit of a problem," how does that affect you?

I know it's cliche, but I still love the expression, "Live and let live!"

In Economy...no one can hear you scream!
