Ryanair calls for two-drink limit at airports

Ryanair has called on UK airports to enforce a two-drink limit, after a BBC Panorama investigation suggested arrests of drunken passengers have risen by 50% in a year.
Never mind 2 drinks, just ban all alcohol from airports and flights. It's incredible they let the punters tank up on Stella at 7am and wonder why there's problems. If people can't survive a few hours without alcohol then they have a problem, no need to share it or endanger others.
Ryanair's only motivation in this will not be safety of course, but exclusive alcohol sales.... airports/airlines are totally hypocritical.

Re: Ryanair calls for two-drink limit at airports

Nah don't ban all drinks from airports. I like to get to airports early ahead of flights and it's nice to sit down in a bar and wait for your gate . Also some flights are really, really long and having one of those small gins/wines isn't going to cause much of a problem.

Give more powers to stop drunkards boarding, ban those who kick on flights for good and impose limits but an outright ban is over the top IMO.

I am guessing half if not more of these problems are causing by people going out somewhere for drinking weekends/stags and so on. Maybe find a way to target that. All the times I've seen people even remotely tipsy is on short-haul flights to popular drinking cities.

Not me, Den. It's always those who cause trouble and drink to excess that ruin things for everyone else.

Some of us like a few drinks during stressful times, and many find travel and aeroplanes stressful. It is pretty easy to determine the drunkards, and these people should simply be prevented from getting through the gates.

These people should not be allowed to force unnecessary restrictions on the rest of us.

So like drunks getting on a train or coach we simply have to put up with it do we? as the airlines and train companies simply don't employ enough staff to deal with this increasing alcoholic problems that many sober passengers have to face daily on their travels.

You don't have to put up with it. Those people shouldn't be allowed to fly. But it's extreme and unrealistic to completely ban alcohol from airports and flights. People spend a lot of time in airports and planes. If you've gotten off an 8 hour flights and have a few hours until a 10 hour flight you might well want a drink! Same with getting to an airport early, clearly the security and all that hassle, then sitting down with a drink and await the call for the flight.

But that is the problem as they are allowed to fly in many cases and that ruins it for everybody else and the same sentiments apply to other transport modes as well as they don't employ trained staff to sort it out.

Maybe scan the ticket and if they're going to Ibiza then they can't drink. The problem always seems to be such specific destinations.

l know what you mean Damien but it does irritate that a small minority always try to ruin things for the vast majority of normal well behaved people.

Re: Ryanair calls for two-drink limit at airports

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. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7214051.html

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

I'm sorry Den but both you and Mr. K besides complaining about the minority appear to empower them to do exactly what you complain about.

The power is available to the police to crack down on this if only they used it more often.

Quote:
S.141 of Licensing Act makes it an offence to “knowingly” sell or attempt to sell alcohol to a person who is drunk. The bar person serving the customer is liable for a fixed fine of £80.00. It is also an offence to “knowingly” allow alcohol to be sold to a person who is drunk. In a pub both the barperson and licensee/designated premises supervisor could therefore be liable to a fine for each incident. If an outlet is found to be persistently serving intoxicated customers then this might result in a licence review.
Allowing the minority to ruin it for the majority is an easy opt-out for the authorities and lessens the freedoms we are supposed to be able to enjoy.

The trouble is the authorities have had these powers for ages and the vast majority of the time do diddly squat about it pip as yes l am all for freedom but sometimes a line needs to be drawn somewhere to stop the rabble ruining it for the vast majority.
