The above statement is incorrect (unless somebody is a quadriplegic or has some other disability). The correct statement is: "you absolutely cannot
LEGALLY serve yourself your own drinks."

Let me be real clear, if the F/As inform me that during boarding, someone in row 25 is pouring their own drinks from a bottle, you are going to find yourself off the plane with very little discussion.
Booting somebody for self-serving pre-flight is the easy part. Would you divert a flight which has already departed in order to de-plane a self-serving pax (assume other things being equal / ie: pax's only offense is self-serving)?
Again, given the dismal state of DL's in-flight Y "service", I find it hard to believe that a relatively sober pax spiking his/her drink mid-flight would even be noticed by the FAs, let alone reprimanded.
