The only knock on them is they charge for liquor in economy when the foreign airlines don't.

If US Airlines gave free drinks domestically, it would be a nightmare. This is basically cultural, as in Americans generally don't know when to say when if drinks are free.

Airlines don't give free alcoholic drinks in coach because they don't want to spend money on it. Plain and simple.

Airlines USED to give away free drinks on international legs to passengers in coach, but that's been over for at least a decade.
I remember when it happened; I flew down to Belize on Continental, free booze. A week later I returned, suddenly I had to pay. Apparently they changed policy that week.
In my previous life when I was deadheading all over the world in coach, I vaguely remember that American still provided free booze in back, but only on select flights. ORD-PVG I believe being one of them.
But I haven't rode in back now for a while, at least on that leg, so I don't know.
By and large, however, I'm pretty certain you gotta pay for booze in back on pretty much all domestic carriers these days...

So how's the early out for f/as going? I had one on her last turn. She was pretty, sharp and seemed nice. She seemed very pleasant with the pax. She only had 20 years in. It figures that the good ones would leave.
