Free beer on flights?

In Sep 2006 I flew MSP-ORD-HGK and return on United. On the
trans-Pacific leg beer and liquor were free.

Last month I flew MSP-TYO-SIN and return on NW. B + L were $5.

Does United also charge now?

Yes. Or at least they did in Economy Plus on both IAD-BRU and BRU-IAD
in the last couple of weeks.

Only if you pay the fuel surcharge and $25 for checking the second bag.

If I recall correctly, digging deep into United's stuff on their
website indicates that Economy class gets free booze only on
trans-Pacific flights.

They definitely charge for it, even in Economy Plus on US to Eurpoe
flights. Lufthansa dioesn't.
