In many years of flying, consistently the worst behavior I've seen is by men in business attire who drank too d@mn much, start in on DYKWIA or harass women around them. From age 14 on, I did a lot of transcon flights unaccompanied, and more than once had to ask the FA if I could change seats because of man pestering me.

Give gate agents the authority to refuse boarding to anyone who reeks of booze and slurs their words.
