We flew from Glasgow a few years ago and there were people in the queue at the Departure Gate with plastic glasses of beer, some had brought two glasses.   
As soon as we got up in the air, there was an immediate queue for the toilets.
On the return we waited on the runway at Dalaman and were told that two people had not board the plane. We waited for about 20 minutes and missed our slot for flying out.  The stewardess told us that they were about to offload the luggage, when two woman boarded  the plane both drunk and having trouble walking down the aisle, the language out of them was awful and all they did was laugh, no apology. 
We were so mad with them and could not understand the crew allowing them on the plane. Fortunately after we took off and a few more drinks, they both fell asleep.

Ronnie (Irish Bar etc) was on this flight. It wasn't him that was removed though! I think he said they arrived in Dalaman 8.5 hours after taking off from Glasgow - because of one idiot who can't drink and can't behave.

He should be made to compensate the 200 or however many other passengers for his inconvenience. (The drunk not Ronnie   :) )

Who are the Scotts?  Are they relatives or friends of yours?

They shouldn't ban alcohol but should be much more strict with who they let on and their should be zero tolerance with abusive passengers. They should ground the plane and the passenger should be fined the cost to the airline of the landing fees etc.
