Aeroplane passengers should be restricted to two drinks at airports, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary has said.

Mr O’Leary said introducing alcohol limits at airports would help tackle a rise in disorder on flights.

Violent outbursts are occurring weekly due to alcohol, he said, especially when it is mixed with other substances.

“We don’t want to begrudge people having a drink,” he told the Daily Telegraph.

“But we don’t allow people to drink-drive, yet we keep putting them up in aircraft at 33,000ft.”

    In EU they will not sell you almost anything already if you don’t show your boarding pass. It is very easy to keep a drink counter per passenger.

        Schiphol in the Netherlands, Milan and Rome in Italy, also in some airport in London as I recall.

        But thinking about it, some things like food and water at the food court I might have never been asked.

        Oh well.

      I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this while flying in the EU, and I’ve done my fair share of it, living here and all.

      You only have to show your boarding pass for the tax breaks that come with traveling internationally.
