Aeroplane passengers should be restricted to two drinks at airports, Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary has said.

Mr O'Leary said introducing alcohol limits at airports would help tackle a rise in disorder on flights.

Violent outbursts are occurring weekly due to alcohol, he said, especially when it is mixed with other substances.

"We don't want to begrudge people having a drink," he told the Daily Telegraph.

"But we don't allow people to drink-drive, yet we keep putting them up in aircraft at 33,000ft."

You'd need every airport to be in on the same system... otherwise you'll end up with 2 drinks at phx, 2 drinks at atl, and 2 drinks at jfk.

Well, at least you're forcing people to pace themselves.

Eh if it's 20 minutes flights it might not be enough for those who magically can't control themselves while drunk.

Just another policy that would hurt people who can actually exert some form of control over themself.

yes.

Good thing I said nothing about time in the terminal and was only talking about flights.

Consider how long it takes to fly between each of those airports. I'll be completely sober by landing, and ready for another couple rounds considering I've got two fucking layovers.

Sounds like you're exactly the person that needs this policy then.
