I'm afraid I'm a grown adult, who is more than capable of making my own choices & presenting myself at the entrance to a plane in a fit condition to fly. More regulation is not the answer, apply the regulations you do have. I don't need some big brother tracking what I do & don't drink. If I'm not in a fit condition then I should not be allowed to board. Again the do gooders seem to want to penalize the masses to catch a few miscreants

Having said that the state of the guys catching flights from Bahrain back to the UK, having just spent several months dry in Saudi was often comical. The number of times I'd see a couple of guys carrying their drunken mate on the plane & dumping him in a seat. He was never a problem though as they usually slept all the way home!
