Why can you even order alcohol on a commercial flight?
Edit: I don’t really know why I’m getting downvoted, it’s a genuine question. Smoking on planes was banned in the 90s, so why is drinking still allowed? It arguably affects people around you just as much.
For what it’s worth, smoking was probably banned because of the fire risk and how easily it annoys people nearby. Alcohol is much more contained and mostly affects the person who directly consumes it.
Though I agree, considering how high the safety standards are in aviation, having people on board that are under the influence of drugs seems like something that should be banned.
Lol with this logic you could ban people from planes. I dont think alcohol is that bad. And if they serve so much alcohol people get drunk than thats another problem. Im not the best person to be talking about this because i dont drink and i dont care if people drink.

To answer your edit, because second hand drinking isn’t a thing
Commercially, oftentimes, goods and services are exchanged for money.

Cuz they’re sitting for hours, why not lol
Because it somehow seems like a huge safety hazard to have a bunch of drunk people doing drunk people stuff in a plane

Brilliant
having a drink does not make you drunk.
How does it arguably affect people around younjust as much? Have you ever been scond hand drunk or caught second hand liver failure?
Not everyone is a loud drunk, I get a couple whiskeys in me on a flight while I read my book relax and fall asleep.
I am hesitant to be negative but like mind your business, you have every right to complain when it impacts you.
Why not?
Have you never flown?
