So if say she would get through 3 or 4 on a flight, could we instead of paying rip off BA BoB prices, get a 70cl bottle of bargain basement Gordon's from the duty free, and a few cans of simple lemonade from Boots or Pret?

We could of course bring with us some plastic disposable cups.

Anything to stop us on-board, mixing some lovely Gin and Lemomades and enjoying them throughout the flight? Thus, saving a fortune, compared to BA BoB prices??
Discussed in this thread Bring on Board... The exact rules on alcohol? BA allows it? with answer from cabin crew
