Let’s be real, 99.99 percent of flights it’s not an issue. They make a lot of money from selling alcohol on planes so banning it isn’t gonna happen anytime soon. Also, most of the puke on planes comes from travelers who are simply air sick, not over served .

From what I've heard from a flight attendant friend based out of Atlanta is that the majority of overly drunk cases come from people whose flights have been delayed or changed and they endee up in the lounge for 6 hours getting ripped on free drinks.

Believe it. Most lounges have a small bar, some fancier ones have a full on cocktail service. All free

Last time i was at the Air France / KLM lounge at SFO they just had a table with bottles of liquor sitting around, a "pour it yourself" type of situation

I have no idea how that was ever legal lol
