I totally accept that everyone must take responsibility for their actions however surely airlines should not allow people who are intoxicated to excess to fly. Also there is a lot of alcohol availabity at airports. Should the airports and airlines do more to prevent this.

Other than breathalyse every passenger gordies, I don't see what they can do unless you mean ban the sale of alcohol in airports ,they would lose millions by doing that and why should responsible people who may fancy a gin and tonic as part of their hard earned holiday suffer for the irresponsible ones?
When restrictions have been suggested before I’ve often thought the only way of ensuring that people don’t drink more than is acceptable is to add tear-off tokens to boarding passes. Boarding passes have to be shown when purchasing anything at an airport, so if bar staff tore off a token for each drink served the result would be no token, no drink, and hopefully no drunks!
Perhaps someone could come up with software that notes every time you scan your boarding card on your phone to buy alcohol and refuses it when you reach the limit? My son is a software engineer. I’ll ask him about this next time I speak to him. I’m sure it’s possible. We could make millions out of this!
When I used to travel regularly between my home in Somerset and Dubai, part of the fun of homecoming was to have beer or cider and a hot breakfast on the train, and a drink or two on the plane. Many people who are travelling aren’t operating on the timezone they are in and I don’t think that operating airport bars according to arbitrary sale times would do much to help......it might even make things worse, viz Australia’s famous five o’clock swill. I think the fact that this lady has made news demonstrates how unusual such a situation is.
I reckon a lot of the problem is passengers tucking into their Duty Free Liquor mid flight. It is frowned on and discouraged by flight crew.
Any duty free purchased in the airport shop is sold on production of a boarding pass. The staff should take the money and have the purchases for certain flights placed in the luggage hold for collection the other side.That was done at Dover Ferry port for day return foot passengers. Purchase in Dover and you watched a tractor/tralier take all the booze into the ferry and it was taken out of territorial waters and returned to the passenger at Dover.
