AH: "No-one goes from a bar in a theatre or a sports stadium, and gets on a plane. Again your logic is baseless." - not my logic, yours, you said:
If you want to drink, go to a pub.If you want to travel on a plane, go to an airport. ....
Is that not saying that the primary function of each item is all it should do? I was following your "logic".
We ain't flying the plane ourselves, I don't accept your belief that we should curtail the enjotment opf the masses for a few morons. That's still my position

Not at all.
Flying by plane involves safety rules - no-one would consider, or be allowed, to travel without wearing seat belts.
I simply believe that minimising the potential for catastophe is a sensible way to approach anything, including travel.

I accept it, and we must agree to differ.
retrocop - // Might as well close the umpteen bars on a cruise liner as well. That would be fun between port arrivals.
//That's bizarre reaching for a comparison, even for you.
Do you seriously think you can compare a few hundred people and maybe a dozen crew on a tube in the air, where air pressure exacerbates the effect of alcohol.
With what is effectively a sixteen storey floating hotel with six thousand people and four thousand crew that disembarkes its passengers at around nine in the morning after a good night's sleep, where the bars are not open until mid-morning at the earliest.
If you think those two equate in the slightest, then clearly you are not a regular traveller on either.//
Not bizarre. Some Cruise companies often advertise that booze is available on a 'all inclusive basis' as well as the food. You are not trying to tell us that cruise passengers do not get inebriated on board ships and become a total boor. Booze is sold on board as a profit making business as well as on flights and airport departure lounges. Are you not aware that passengers have gone MOB due to excess alcohol on board ships which necessitate a reverse course,delays etc etc.A cruise ship would be damn boring if Horlicks and cocoa was on offer during the day's entertainment and no bars. God they no longer do *** shooting off the taff rail. No way thanks.I enjoy the odd snifter and would not have a pious charlatan dictate when I could or not enjoy a drink just because they were stupid and overdo the rum at some party in their youth years ago. I have flown and have cruised. My cruising experience was in my own vessel with a well stocked 'ships store.'

No, I'm not trying to tell you that, which is probably why it's not in my post.

I am aware of that - but inappropriate, even fatal, behaviour can happen in any hotel, including floating ones, so that's hardly a valid reason to stop selling alcohol on board a cruise ship.
The instances of passengers lost overboard for any reason is a fraction of the air rage incidents that occur, and if you compare the number of passengers on a plane to the number of passengers on a large cruise liner, the chances become incompatable on a statistical basis.

As far as I am concerned, we are exchanging views on a subject on which we differ - I do not feel the need to throw out nasty personal insults at you, simply because you think differently to me.
But if you can't resist the urge to be offensive - please try and ensure that your insults are more accurate than your comparisons.
pious
devoutly religious.
charlatan
a person falsely claiming to have a special knowledge or skill.
Since I am an atheist, it would be impossible for me to be pious, and I am not claiming any specific knowledge or skill, simply expressing a viewpoint.
Perhaps in future, you could offer comparisons that a hope of standing up even to casual scrutiny.
And if you must be rude - and experience shows that you must - try using a dictionary before you spit out your nasty insults, then you might be within the ballpark of getting your rudeness to be somewhere near accurate.
