I enjoy a drink at the airport, no matter what time my flight departs. For me and my friends, the holiday starts at the airport, but for early morning flights, we usually have 1 drink (2 if there's enough time which is very rare).
Restricting sales is all well and good to combat people getting too drunk before a flight in the morning, but takes away that option for the majority of passengers who would have 1 or 2 and cause no hassle at all.
As mentioned in the thread, would lounges be exempt from this rule or have to apply for a licence? Surely you'd see more people paying to go into lounges and getting just as drunk...
What would then happen with those passengers who drink far too much in the afternoon and cause problems on board?
