I am not anti-mask by any means but do believe it's more theater than anything and will go on enjoying and living my life (which includes savoring the fine wines and expertly crafted cocktails onboard UA
- hopefully can do that in peace without harassment that you experienced).
Given that the airlines are cracking down on mask policies and the general public's views (largely in support of) I would expect some resistance there. Personally if I see someone in flight nursing a drink or bag of pretzels for an extended period of time I will assume they are doing so with the express purpose of skirting the mask rule. I am sure I am not alone in that assessment.
