Has anyone experienced this? jfkeze maybe?

Note: Posted a dedicated thread on Other South American airlines, but there doesn't seem to be too much action over there, so I figured I'd ask here too since you guys monitor the AM prem fare deals. Feel free to post reply over there: Aeromexico No Alcohol before 11am policy
So a follow-up here in regards to alcohol. On the return MEX-JFK at 715a on a 787-8, no alcohol was offered. But they did serve champagne to a few people who requested and left it on ice in the front galley for the remainder of flight. I requested a coffee with Baileys after breakfast and the FA mentioned alcohol is typically not served on morning flights, but he didn't mind do so anyway. Weird...so weird. Not sure how AM justifies this considering competition or the fact that their Business Class fares are no cheaper in the morning. Maybe its just a cultural thing? In the end, I was fine with it, wasn't in the mood for anything other than the Baileys, but still just really odd of a policy.
