The real question is: Should you TATTLE on the flight attendant?
Tattling
*The child tattling wants to get someone else in trouble or avoid blame.
*The child tattling may have something to gain; attention, popularity.
*No one is hurt or in danger.
*It is not an important problem, and can be solved without an adult.
*The child threatens to tell on another in order to control the other child.

And if that is not enough drink for thought...
Consider while you are sipping your gin and tonic, or water, or Coke;
Over 3/4 of a Billion people in the world do not have access to safe clean drinking water.

How come in the SkyClub can I get more than 2 drinks in an hour at the bar? Now I am not saying I am a heavy drinker but do like an occasional splurge so after the first two drinks I will get a beer.
I guess the answer comes down to that in the air your one drink equals two on the ground. Perhaps in the FAR regulations there are guidelines regarding the serving of alcohol. For me two drinks are plenty on a short SJC-LAX flight now if its two hours I may get another drink depending on how I feel.
But the main thing is to have the drink with food.

Possibly because a SkyClub is not a confined metal tube flying at 30K+ feet. The latter would seem to make it more difficult to deal with an unruly customer, and have greater potential to impact/endanger others, etc.

I just had a great C+ flight LGA-ORD (thanks to AA's operational incompetence....no I was not rebooked but cxld AA and booked DL at the last minute).
Double Bloody Mary at first go around....two passes of snack basket and a beer on my way back from the bathroom.

Well, you're right. It's a first world problem. But it doesn't negate the question of value/service, but nor did anything I said imply it's a major issue.
But since YOU brought it up... Incidentally, I work professionally in public policy, have actually campaigned for candidates of multiple political parties rather than just mouth off about it on social media, have served in humanitarian and military service for 12 years, worked for several nonprofits for years, and have raised a collective total of nearly $30 million to fight poverty and improve education.
What have YOU done?

OP - judging by your resume you are a good person. Surely you've met a troll before. If not, they are best ignored.
Although I have to admit that I was curious as to whether the argument was that sending Delta a note would cause people to have clean water or if not sending a note would cause clean water. Incoherent non sequiturs are often hard to interpret.

Back to OP, you were absolutely in the right here, recently in C+ on JFK-LAX the FA happily provided the full bottle of wine, and were happy to serve my seatmate after he had pressed the call button. As many others have suggested a quick email to DL would certainly be reasonable

Precisely - they are regulars and the bartenders serve them first and I can be way before them in line and still not get a drink. 
Sorry OP slightly OT - but C+ should be able to get another drink by pressing the call button just like I should be able to get one in B10.
