During the flight, Henry allegedly consumed so many alcoholic drinks that one of the crewmembers decided to cut her off, according to the criminal complaint.

Like a permanent addition to the no-fly listing at the very, very least.

as if Spirit needs to do the same.
In fact, I think they should change the beverage service on short flights to by request only. With the problems of the carts blocking access to restrooms or seats for maybe half of the flight time, and some people nursing drinks so they dont have to wear masks, it might be easier.
