And I suspect it would only cause bad PR among drunks. I admire airlines that are tough on unruly passenger. Having some drunks spend time in a Dubai drunk tank and jail could act as a deterrent to other passengers. In the end, there's no country I'm aware of, where unruly/drunk passengers don't end their journey at a jail...
I suspect that they are quite lenient airside in Dubai . I doubt if the same pax would have got away if they had drunk so much landside.
