Violent outbursts are occurring weekly on flights due to alcohol, according to Michael O'Leary.

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.”

    Are you suggesting two things can’t be true?

    I’m sorry dude but it’s entirely childish behavior (not you-you, the hypothetical behavior) to think that getting a run around / bad customer service permits you to get drunk and harass a flight attendant while they do their job. They didn’t fail to reimburse you, they clocked in and are trying to work their shift. How the fuck is it even in discussion that it’s ok to be rude/intimidating to someone in the working class?

    Further, the other passengers also didn’t cause your booking woes, or lost luggage. Why should they be intimidated or disturbed by drunk and disorderly behavior?

    Again I’m not saying “you” do this, I’m referring to a hypothetical drunken customer, even one who has suffered all of the bad things you mentioned.

    Having an absolute shit day doesn’t permit getting drunk and impacting others

      Nope, it’s why I used words like also and equally inappropriate.

      Stopping everyone from having a few drinks so that the customers you shit on the most will obediently swallow all the shit you can shove down their throats is fixing a symptom not the cause.
