No- I stood up most of the time by the lavatory.

Also I differ on the cost issue.

It costs the airline no more to have someone sit in a FC seat than in a coach seat.
Obviously, alchohol is an issue, but it wouldn't be an issue if they just limited the number of free drinks to everyone (like they should anyway). Say they put a 6 drink limit on a 3 hour flight. What does it cost them, $10 more for the FC passengers? Besides, 1/2 the FC passengers don't drink on a plane. I rarely do. Many people don't drink at all, or work on the plane, or have work that needs to be done when they deplane. I think the marginal cost of an FC passenger is not much higher than a coach passenger.
