Drinks in comfort plus exit row
Flying MSP-LAS 3.5 hours 1300 miles on an a321
I know drink service has been spotty the last few years with the pandemic, different crews, inflation, and whatnot, but if I was hoping for a few (extra) drinks, would sitting in a non exit row help my chances?
Currently have the exit row booked (13F) but am thinking of switching to the bulkhead (row 10A)

They cut me off after 2 double woodfords on a similar length flight in C+ (non exit row), but that may have been more due to the woodfords than drinks generally. The FA quickly walked away and I didn't really want to get into anything with them since I didn't "need" another so I didn't ask for clarification.

Arguing with a flight crew member especially if you've had a couple drinks is a sure-fire way to have police waiting for you when you land at LAS. And I doubt you can simply volunteer to be a test dummy for a stun gun demonstration for some kids to get out of spending some time in Las Vegas jail if the cops do meet you coming off the plane at LAS.

This was in domestic FC. Ordered a Jack and Coke. When I finished, the FA brought me another. Then, another. I couldn't finish the 3rd one. When I was getting off the plane, I told the FA "you're gonna get me in trouble! Thank you!" in jest. If I was a drinker, I'm sure she'd have kept 'em coming.
