Booze... uh... Beverages in the morning... &ltg&gt

[k_finch]

I don't know how hard it would be to add some coding to a future patch of FSP but here's my thinking.

Flying an early morning flight (say 6:00 a.m.) in North America, it's highly unlikely that attendants would serve alcoholic drinks to
passengers.

Would it be possible to add "Serving drinks to passengers" as a non-alcoholic option and "Serving beverages to passengers" or "The bar
is now open" as an alcoholic option? I'm not married to the wording.

As an added bonus, deduct points for serving booze before 12 noon local.

I'm no teetotaler; I've been known to fortify my morning coffee <g>, but the thought of "happy" passengers this early in the morning is
unrealistic, at least in North America.

Thanks for a great, fun add on!

Well, in real life I often do morning flights and we still sell lots of alcohol. But I would like it if there would be a option to do a drink service
with or without alcohol.

Why, what if you cross 3 time zones during a flight and it never gets past 12 noon Local?

What if you work nights so drinking at 6am is acceptable?

Why make him code all these conditions? Just imagine is says "Coffee" if you want.

I do think it is a problem. Many airlines often have a 'barservice'. An attendant pases trough the cabin with just drinks. You should have
the possibility to serve no alcohol. In detail, even a coffee/tea service. And pax shouldn't be drunk every time you serve just drinks without
food. This should be possible.

Don't forget, that there is a lot of nervious flyers, that yank the odd whiskey or twelve to numb down their anxiety. I don't dare to imagine an
inner-russian flight at any time of the day with only an "unleaded" menu

maybe it should only a few "happy campers" and that would add another possible option of inflight problem. Serve drinks too often and you have one or
two rowdies in the cabin going apesh*t

Well, I also experienced passengers who drank alcohol because they were nervous. In realitiy alcohol doesn't help at all (unless you
drink so much that you don't know who you are anymore..). Alcohol actually makes you more nervous. I always advise people when they
are afraid of flying, to stop having cafeine, nicotine (is this correct english?) and too much sugars. Also less alcohol is better.

And once again, I would see it as an improvement when there would be an option to serve drinks without alcohol.
What you could also add as an emergency, when one passenger is so drunk he becomes agressive and you need to land to get him off
the plane.
