I disagree. I think a good crew will want to stop things getting to this stage. Once someone is here it becomes unpleasant for the other pax and is (potentially) a much more difficult situation for the crew to deal with.
For a relatively short flight (2h20 ?) I think 2 rums and 2 bottles of wine is quite adequate in any event - I don't mean this in a holier-than-thou way, just my own personal feelings.

I wasn't suggesting that the crew should wait until people where seriously drunk, before refusing to serve alcohol.
As a person 50 years of age and a regular consumer of alcohol, I know my limits and if I'm intoxicated.
As I was relaxed, had eaten and had a good nights sleep the night before, I wasn't feeling intoxicated, nor giving of any signs of being so.
The reason for my posting/question, was rather if this was a new policy of BA, to set a limit per passanger, rather than on how the passanger appeared.
