My most recent AA flight (two weeks ago) LAX-LIH they only did a single drink service with the silly cold dinner tray, and I'm fairly confident it was a half pour. No further beverages offered for remaining ~5 hours of flight.
Reminder: because great is what they're going for.

I guess one drink per hour is better than what Alaska is doing. I have friends who are flying LAX-OGG tomorrow morning in premium economy on Alaska which is advertised as free drinks. Turns out for the entire 5 hour flight you only get One drink! AA isn't looking so bad now, huh?

He really did not need to worry about anyone getting over-served since after picking up the "snack" remnants, he retreated to the galley where he spent the final two and a half hours of our flight.

On a 2 hour flight out of CLT this past year I managed to get two rounds of triple Woodford (FA put two in the cup and handed me another full nip). Thankfully I had someone to drive me home because I had a good buzz going on.
