Can't see any problem in an alcohol ban except for airlines and airports profits. Them complaining about drunk passengers after selling them unlimited amounts of alcohol is farcical. Of course you can have a drink - tea, coffee, water there are many options . I'm no saint I love a drink or 3, but can survive a few hours. If stressed alcohols one of the worst things you can do - raises the risk of DVT's and other medical problems. I've seen people drink all flight , then toddle off to their cars to drive home ! There's been cases of pilots being found to be drunk at the airport.

Just take alcohol out of the equation from flights/airports.
