"Feinstein asks airlines to limit passengers to 2 drinks/She says measure would fight 'air rage'"

Now, for my body type, etc. I can drink nearly two drinks PER HOUR and still be legal to DRIVE.

Now, I don't generally get sauced on my flights -- but a pre-departure mimosa, a couple of (those small) glasses of wine with dinner, and perhaps some grand marnier with my ice cream sunday or some bailey's or kahlua in my coffee with dessert. This doesn't make me the slightest bit tipsy, but does help me enjoy an IAD-SFO transcon.

Mostly I will just be really ticked at Senator Feinstein if the airlines comply.

There's no such thing as "voluntary" when faced with a gun (legislation).

Separately, I'd be curious to know the breakdown of air rage incidents --
how many involve drunken passengers, and of those how many are flying employee class? (perhaps it's just my classist instincts, but I would imagine air rage is more likely to occur in back?)
