Seems that this type of problem is on the increase. The airports could help us out though by stopping all liquor sale by the glass in the departure areas and limiting sales to duty free .  You have to wonder how many folks take a few drinks before boarding to relieve their stress or simply to mark the start of their "free spirit" vacations.

My mom just have a lovely flight next to an extremely drunk couple, they were loaded when they boarded and each had three more drinks before the flight attendants cut them off.

At some airports in the UK they're pretty aggressive about arresting passengers for intoxication but I can't think of anywhere in North America that has that reputation.

Do Flight attendants need to be licensed to serve alcohol like a Bartender (at least in Ontario).  there is liability attached to serving alcohol to an intoxicated person.

Smartserve. That's a good question.

There is an AC that references Smart Serve and also recommends similar training to comply with the existing regulations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Advisory Circular 700-010 - Unruly Passengers and Incidents of Interference with a Crew Member

"Prevention is an important aspect of any program; clear procedures should be established on ways to avoid situations where passengers may become unruly. For example, alcohol service should be carried out reasonably and responsibly. Since alcohol has a greater effect on people at high altitudes, alcohol consumption should be restricted while travelling on aircraft. Employees should also be attentive to passengers consuming alcohol in waiting areas and report any concern to the appropriate personnel as soon as it is identified. Some Canadian provinces require that all persons responsible for the service of alcoholic beverages successfully complete a training program before being authorized to carry out alcohol service. Since the effects of alcohol are often reported as being one of the leading factors relating to incidents of interference with crew members, it would be beneficial for all air operators to provide a similar type of training and to raise employees' awareness on the effects of alcohol.

In that respect, it is suggested to consult section 602.04 of the CARs, which deals with restrictions regarding the service of alcohol to passengers."
