The irony in all of this is that passengers travelling from so-called Islamic countries (the UAE in this case) seem to be the ones getting drunk and causing mayhem more and more frequently these days, and ending up in the news.
I know you're just joking, but on the off-chance that you're not too familiar with the practical application of the law, I'd point out to you that this is completely unworkable, impractical, and, if anything, will lead to a flood of cases where people claim to be traumatised by sitting next to a smelly person, or being barked at by a dog.
I think we get it, you don't like alcohol, especially not people who drink it on airlines, but please keep drama levels a bit lower.
