A recent YouGov poll reveals that 49% of Britons believe airports should stop serving alcohol in the morning, while 37% disagree. However, support for early drinking is notably higher among younger adults, with only 34% of those aged 18-24 supporting restrictions. This debate gained traction after Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary urged for tighter controls on alcohol sales at airports, citing an increase in disruptive behavior linked to drinking. O'Leary suggested banning morning alcohol sales and implementing a two-drink limit for passengers. In contrast, Tim Martin, the CEO of JD Wetherspoon, criticized these proposals as a 'Big Brother' response that would be difficult to enforce. He argued that alcohol sales are a minor part of airport business and that many customers order drinks with meals. The issue of alcohol-related incidents on flights remains pressing, with O'Leary noting that flights to popular destinations like Ibiza often experience disruptions. Legal consequences for drunken behavior on planes include hefty fines and potential prison time.
