What’s In It?
While ordering alcohol is allowed on a flight, the flight attendants often see it as a hassle. It’s not just about mixing up a cocktail on a flight, ten thousand feet above the ground but, it’s also the hassle of serving other passengers who then request for the same. A legal way to drink on the flight is to ask flight attendants to serve it, they might say no as they are in right to do so. They may also refuse to serve to passengers who already appear half-in-the-bag.

Drinking before an early flight could soon be banned, the Licencing Act which only allows passengers to drink at a particular time.
