I don't mean to sound like a wise-*** but a plane that hands out valium sounds like an airline I would love to be a frequent flyer!!!

What is so special about airplanes that the prohibitionist efforts should somehow start with them?
People become dehydrated on board of planes. That means that if they want to drink alcohol, they need more non-alcoholic drinks to accompany alcoholic drinks than they would have needed on the ground. That is all. There is no other "magic" that makes plane rides special, with respect to alcohol consumption. Unless I am missing something...
The poster said that every numbnut can figure out that alcohol should not be served on planes, but I, a couple of Master's degrees notwithstanding, fail to figure it out.
