I had three drunk passengers in CE on BA , one of whom was exceptionally disruptive to the point of sitting in the wrong seat, removing trousers etc. I formally complained to BA and never heard back, whilst on board I was told "theres not much we can do as he's a gold member"..... unreal how relaxed airlines are to this sort of behaviour.

I have to admit that I am one of those pax who get wasted on every flight. In fact, the crew usually suggest that I do so, because being unconscious in my seat is better than calling a crew-member every 30 minutes because I think the engine sounds wrong, or I have to ask for the 20th time if the turbulence we are flying through is going to kill us or not.
Having become a monthly flyer on Emirates, I actually get served before take-off (in economy) on some flights where the crew knows me LOL.

I spose....but it is not fun having a drunk that end up puking sitting nearby on a plane. I think I would rather have the snakes on a plane than a drunk on a plane, just sayin'

Not that Emirates would ever give up what is, IMO, their strongest draw as an airline (fine wine and spirits), but adrenaline can counter the effects of alcohol in emergencies.

I'd be more worried about :-
1. Families trying to get their kids blocking the aisles
2. Idiots trying to get their bags blocking the aisles
3. Disabled people blocking the aisles
4. People generally panicking and not knowing where the nearest exit was.

Why would being "wasted" cause an issue? If I've had a few, I can still walk perfectly well to an exit.

An emergency evacuation could be a life and death situation. Thankfully, it's extremely rare. But if you intentionally drink too much to the point of being incapacitated, then you become an additional hazard to yourself AND other passengers.
Sure, there are other hindrances, but we're talking about people who drink themselves into oblivion on board an aircrft here, rather than unavoidable impediments.

But why make the problem worse?

And me drinking a bottle of champagne is like some of you light weights having a bottle of Voss.
