There's also a problem with drunk passengers on airlines.

If I drank before I got on a plane I'd have never got on it, only ever went on holiday sober. I have on 2 occasions only had 1 alcoholic drink whilst on a plane, that was 20 years ago before I was completely out of control (although even back then if I decided I was going out to drink I always over did it, so mostly didn't drink (plus it contained calories)that 1 drink was incredibly 'controlled'.).

I was on a flight from Melbourne to Darwin about 12 years ago which was around 4.5 hrs. The guy in front of me was drunk and he passed wind. It circulated through the whole planes ventilation system and took over an hour to disburse. Not fun at all and not a laughing matter
