1. ID of passenger was verified and OK because the 2nd drink request is alcholic
2. Coke was finished before the 2nd drink request.
3. Person is sober, well behaved, standing 5 feet away from me.
4. New Amsterdam Vodka is on the list of complimentary Skyclub drinks.

What did I misread?
So allegedly he carded her then denied her the drink because she previously hadn't tipped?

I don't believe this story, and the sequence of events makes it seem less plausible that it happened because she had not tipped on the first drink, why would he check her ID if he's not serving her anyway?
