on suspicion of being drunk on a plane or at an airport in 2017 and 2018.
"I ain' drunk. Yoush guyz're outta focus! [hic!]"
The report said that drunken people had caused significant troubles during flights and in the airports, forcing the government to plan a ban on round-the-clock drinking in airports across England and Wales.
"Wuddya mean it'sh closhin' time?"
"It's five a.m., bub!"
"Shee? It'sh five o'clock shumwhere!"

It said the government was considering to extend high street licensing laws which would mean passengers would not be able to buy alcoholic drinks in airports before 10 am.
"Bartenner! Cheeriozh, pleazh! An' a pint o' gin to wash 'em down!"
The Home Office (interior ministry) has also launched a review into the case and will study evidences in the upcoming three months, said the Daily Express.
