Phx, the airlines who are part of alliances such as OneWorld, Skyteam and StarAlliance all have anti-trust immunity from the federal government and to allow them to participate in IATA meetings.
On the substantive point.. airlines continue to sell or serve alcohol, often to passengers who are clearly intoxicated. Some airlines incentivise their staff by paying them commission on cart sales. The more they sell, the higher their wages. It is wrong and the response of United is wholly inadequate.
