Oh dear, this is the way to hell being paved with good intentions. I hate drunks on airplanes I really really do, but do we have to spoil life for everybody because of the actions of a minority.

I think that the person who made the comment about having seen most abuse where the alchohol was free is pertinent. I still think that whatever they do, people will still find a way. They take their own drink on "dry" airlines, and sup duty-free if they are denied. Is this is the Senator who was Gore's 2IC? Please excuse my ignorance, but I can barely take an interest in our own politicians let alone yours?! I am glad that you have (like ourselves) so little else to concern the legislators
