Narrative:

Alcohol consumption of both passenger. Both men missed 2 previous flts (per discussion with other passenger) because they were drinking in airport bars. Passenger #1 cooperated immediately by turning off cell phone. However, passenger #2 aggravated situation by arguing with me and claiming he was a 'captain with an air carrier' (several times).
