Narrative:

A passenger boarded the aircraft in ccs, intoxicated, unknown to the crew. He was offered a predep beverage, and had a total of 5 mixed alcoholic drinks within 1.5 hours after takeoff. The flight attendants in first class decided to cut him off. He became very disruptive and was very intimidating to the crew. I was asked by the purser and the captain to work in the first class cabin to help calm the situation. He became more irate and I tried to calm him down. The passenger was intoxicated and should have not boarded or been on our flight. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that the purser called him back from his coach position to first class because the man had started to threaten the female flight attendants. The man was on his honeymoon, and his wife seemed embarrassed to be with him and kept looking out the window. They did not divert to remove the passenger. At one point, the captain sent back a cockpit jump seater to watch the cabin. The captain came back several times to try and reason with the man, and finally had it with him and called ACARS 45 mins out for auths to meet the flight. No one met the flight, so the couple just walked off with no repercussions.
