When jetting off on holiday, many passengers will enjoy kicking off their flight with a refreshing beverage as they settle in, and this often includes a bit of booze.
Of course, flight attendants don't want passengers getting too drunk, and antisocial or rowdy behaviour is treated seriously by airline staff.
With this in mind, many people are curious to know exactly how many drinks they're actually permitted to have when up in the air and at what point they'll be told they've had enough.
More specifically, some people are keen to know whether it's okay to order multiple beverages at the same time, so they're not left parched between drink cart runs.

In a popular Reddit travel forum, a flight attendant encouraged people to ask about her life, career, and experiences and the conversation quickly turned to food and drink.
One person asked: "Is it acceptable to ask for multiple cans of soda/wine/spirits at one time? On a busy flight, I accept it takes time to get around to all the passengers, but then I drink my soda or wine in about two minutes and I become sad."
The flight attendant - who goes by the username u/inflightdrinks - clarified you can indeed order multiple beverages to your heart's content, as long as you aren't going heavy on the booze.
She replied: "Two cans of soda are totally fine and it's okay to ask. Alcohol is a different story though since it's hard to keep track of who had how much so it's one drink at a time only."
Although there's no specific limit on how much alcohol a person can drink while on board a flight, it is a criminal offence to be drunk on an airplane, and crew members do have the right to refuse the sale of alcohol to any passenger.
