Narrative:

A passenger (male) was annoyed because of a short (25 min) delay. During our service, he opened and was drinking his own beer. We advised him to either hand it over to us, or put it away, and that it was an FAA requirement to do so. He ignored us. We advised passenger that security may meet him in bna. During pickup, he opened another beer in front of us. We advised the cockpit crew of the situation and the first officer went to the main cabin to talk to the passenger. Passenger dismissed the first officer, but had not opened any other beer. On descent, the passenger ignored my safety procedures (seat back upright and he was sitting in the exit row). We landed with no further incident from the passenger. At the gate, bna security was waiting for the passenger. He was asked a few questions, and they were going to release him. As he was walking away, he made a sarcastic remark to the crew and security arrested him.
