Another option is to find an airline that serves the requested libation(s) before take off.

Waiting until after take-off is possibly the safest thing to do. After all, the FAs prime responsibility is to ensure our safety during any flight. That is what announcements during flights say....
QR website does state J can enjoy a wide selection of beverages at any time but doesnt specify alcohol, but I certainly wouldnt say it was a moot point; its a valid discussion point which may influence a FTs decisions of airline or route.

To imply serving pre-departure drinks compromises safety is a little OTT though? No?

It's not only QR that decline to serve drinks on the ground in certain locations, other airlines have similar policies.

I would agree with you if you say "some other airlines have the same policies". Taking CDG as an example, many airlines do serve taxed alcohol at boarding. A few do not.
