Discuss the impact of alcohol abuse on air travel and give your opinion on the connection between alcohol abuse and crimes committed during flights.
On a 747, two class structure plane, approximately 524 people can fly.  Statistically, 1 out of 12 people has an alcohol abuse problem.  So that means, on a flight, you have 43 people with alcohol problems, some of which are going to booze it up on the flight.  We, as Americans, have an alcohol problem, regardless of our own personal drinking because how do you escape the drunk, on a packed plane, seated next to you?  We cannot continue to pretend that alcohol doesn't play a role in these crimes.  I hope the perp burns in hell.
