At least drink the high quality stuff. Quality over quantity.

Many airlines have cheaper wines and other beverages in their lounges than they serve up in the air in premium cabin longhaul flights. In many places, they also serve cheaper "champagne" on the ground because they must pay duty on it.

Or drink small portions, as in a tasting or wine flights. In premium cabins there should be no hesitation to open new bottles even if you only want a sip of each.

CX's wine glasses, are anything but flights..and usually the more senior crew tend to be keen to remind me that I am a biiiggg boyyy (their words), by filling (&re-filling) them close to the brim. Good that CX's wines are crap & I don't have more than a glass, if at all...but then, they do that for the whisky as well!

and, the un-clued in junior crew tend to overfill, to wash their hands off your call bell ringing after the first one..

Perhaps, they hate having to throw away the unused booze at the end of the flight as much as I hate them seeing do it?

We do look forward to our CX flights, but yes, I end up over-drinking esp on CX.

The legendary one was ORD-HKG in F which started with the purser telling my wife 'lets get him drunk' when he saw me...I crawled & tottered off the plane on that one..and back on ..after wifey reminded that i'd left some fab rum cake on board (well, the crew did get one pack on my second de-board attempt)..must've been close to the whole bottle of the Glenmorangie Signet that day/night (for the record, I'd take Macallan 17 over that) - no one else was drinking anything in F...have a vague recollection of meeting a fellow FTer @ The Wing that night...ok, that was a stretch - I do remember his handle, but don't have a clue what he looks like.

I try my best to resist and only limit myself to the high quality stuff to justify the calories/hangover - I'll have a glass of champagne here and there when flying F, but don't drink when I'm flying J/Y. A while ago I just kept accepting refills and would always regret it when I felt awful later in the flight.

These days, give me a Cathay Delight and I am a happy camper. ^

With alcohol prices what they are in Singapore proper, and it being Friday night, most of the PAX wanting to drink is not surprising...
(though I try and drink more in the QF/BA/QR lounges in SIN than on the flight...)

The easiest way to stop drinking on flights is to have car hire once on the ground (and require it for work.)
Either that, or force yourself on LCCs/carriers that only serve rubbish alcohol onboard
(OK, even with that last point, if there's enough mixer, I don't care what the shot of alcohol I'm drinking is...)

DilemNa ?

Dilemma, perhaps ...
