Narrative:

The passenger was drunk and asked a flight attendant for a beer. When the flight attendant politely refused him, he became belligerent and threatened to punch the flight attendant. The captain was then informed, and the first officer came back into the cabin and told the passenger to be quiet and if it happened again he would land the plane. We landed at our original destination and auths met the plane. The passenger was detained for approximately 1 hour. He was also asked to take a different carrier on his return flight.
