Something similar happened on a friend of ours flight. They were inflight, about an hour out of ATL and some a*shole up in first class decides to start mouthing off, saying that the pilots were drunk, the flight attendants were drunk, he'd seen it happen (the crew drinking) and all sorts of stupid stuff. So our buddy (the F/O) and his CA decide to call for a 'team' to meet the airplane upon arrival at the gate. The chief pilot, a company medical representative with a breathalizer, and two or three cops meet the flight. The flight attendants did assure everyone that no, none of the crew had been drinking, and all the passengers could see and smell the F/As, so they knew everything really was fine. But the crew made the offending jerk stay on board the aircraft after all the other passengers left and watch as each and every crewmember blew a 0.0. He tried to backtrack and make 'good', but they made this guy stay through it all! He ended up missing his connecting flight, and I don't think he'll ever mouth off like that again.
