He may not have been served on the flight, he very likely was drunk well before he boarded. No way was he served all of those "8 drinks" in flight, especially without ID.
I agree with Cooter, no way a 195lb man is "piss drunk" after 8 drinks. He may have had 8 drinks, but they were each a half cup of straight liquor.

I'm sure he sat at TGIFridays and got drunk before boarding, but there will be a paper trail, and heads would roll is all I'm saying.

Don't get me wrong, heads would roll on the plane if I were the father. I'm not a violent person at all, but that kid would have an ass kicking coming, regardless of where he got his liquor.
Even if that weren't my kid, and I were sitting nearby, I don't see myself sitting in my seat just watching it happen.
As a father of a 12-yr old girl....I can't say for sure what exactly I would have done, but I do know one thing for certain.....it would've been bad enough that those port authority cops would've needed to take me into custody as a result.

Same here. And there would have been a hospital involved for that 18 year old. Someone does that to my little girl, and there better be some compassionate mother fuckers on board that feel bad for the 18 year old getting his face repeatedly stomped !!
NEW YORK (AP)—An 18-year-old was dismissed from the U.S. Ski Team’s development squad after he was accused of getting drunk and then urinating on a fellow passenger aboard a JetBlue flight.
Robert “Sandy” Vietze, of Warren, Vt., was detained by police at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Wednesday morning after arriving on a red-eye flight from Portland, Ore.
He faces a federal misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Brooklyn.
“Based on the information we have, Sandy Vietze is in violation of the USSA code of conduct and team agreement, and has been dismissed from the team,” U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association Executive Vice President of Athletics Luke Bodensteiner said in an email sent to The Associated Press on Friday.
The AP’s attempts to reach Vietze and his parents for comment have been unsuccessful. The phone has been ringing unanswered at the family’s home since Thursday, when news of the incident was first reported in the New York Post.
Vietze was nominated to the development team this spring after excelling as an alpine skier at the Green Mountain Valley School, a top ski academy and high school in Waitsfield, Vt., where tuition runs as much as $42,384 per year. He had been scheduled to compete on the national ski team’s developmental squad for the 2011-2012 season.
A Port Authority Police Department detective wrote in court documents that Vietze told him he had consumed five or six beers and two rum and cola cocktails before boarding the flight. He said he passed out in his seat and awoke to find himself being yelled at by the father of a 12-year-old girl.
The girl’s father told the detective that when he returned from a trip to the bathroom at 2:30 a.m., he found Vietze urinating on his daughter.
The man described Vietze as “out of it.”
The Port Authority initially told the AP and other news outlets Thursday that federal prosecutors had decided to drop the indecent exposure charge, but a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office, Robert Nardoza, said Friday that the case is still pending.
The charge carries a maximum fine of $1,000 and a possibility of up to a year in jail, although time behind bars would be very unusual in such a case.
