SunExpress’s German-American boss Max Kownatzki told trade publication TTG that one special flight operated by the Turkish airline for a group of Brits on a golfing break was drunk dry in the space of 25-minutes.

He said Brit travellers are “more high-spend, more hedonistic.”

Moral has nothing to do with it, logic has, I don't want to be stuck next to a drunk guy in case of an accident.

presumably you'd never drink at a bar or restaurant either then? because obviously you're far more likely to need to respond to something there than on a plane

and given what percentage of accidents happen in the home, i guess that's out too

I have never really gone out to a bar or restaurant to drink, that has never interested me, I do go to restaurants and from time to time have a glass of cider or wine with my food, but then I mostly switch to water.

I can confidentally say that I have never been drunk in my 36 years, it has never interested me.
