@steveben53: That is indeed true: the 99+% good passengers should not get the victim of strict drink laws/regulations because of 1- % unruly drunk passengers.

So a limitation of the number of drinks per passenger on a flight can be a better option. The well-behaved passengers drink below this limit.
