Manchester Airport bosses have taken to Twitter to share a stark warning as passengers could be refused entry to their booked flights.
The airport has thrown its weight behind a campaign aimed at making sure passengers are safe and responsible. A tweet sent from its official account on Thursday said those travelling from Manchester are "encouraged to fly responsibly".
There was also a link to the One Too Many campaign's website, which warns people could be hit with harsh penalties if they drink too much at the airport.

As well as being turned away from flights, drinking too much while flying can even result in up to two years in prison. Holidaymakers could also face a £5,000 fine if their disruptive behaviour results in a flight being delayed.
If someone were to cause a "mid-air incident" they could even receive an £80,000 diversion fee, and an airline ban.
The UK aviation industry said it is "committed to tackling disruptive behaviour through a voluntary Code of Practice". The practice promotes:
- A zero-tolerance approach to disruptive behaviour
- The identification, pre-emption, management and reporting of disruptive incidents
- The responsible sale and consumption of alcohol; and
- Education and communication with passengers.
