Comfort + Free Drinks
I don't fly too terribly often, but the wife and I are taking a trip to PHX in June to see some friends and I booked an upgrade to the Comfort + seats, mainly because I'd like to have more than one bottle of Jack Daniels on the flight (it's vacation). The times that I have flown, which have been mainly in Economy, I have only seen the attendants twice to purchase a drink. Will Comfort + receive any more attention than the regular economy seats, or is the service pretty much the same except for the free drinks and upgraded snack basket?

They aren't going to come to you in C+ any more than regular economy.
Solution is simple--ask for multiple mini's when they come through. Last flight I had in C+ ATL-SLC I got 3 bottles of woodford on first pass, lady next to me got 4 bottles of wine, etc.
Probably doesn't work great for mixed stuff or beer, but you can always ring the call button if it's that important.

Technically, DL asks the FA's to check up on C+ from time to time to fulfill any additional refills. You can also engage a FA when they come through with the water/coffee walks.

Ring your call button for a refill.
Many carriers have policies that say that FAs may only serve one (double, I assume) drink at a time, and only when you are seated, although going to the galley area to ask the FA for a refill is another tactic.

I've gone to the back galley in the past, asking for another drink.
Clarify that you're in E+, and there won't be a charge for it.
