I'm fairly indifferent, but if it is an official team function, then that can be seen as part of one's job, correct?

Now, like I said, I could care less about whether or not they drink on the plane, but I don't think there's anything wrong with a policy that says "NFL players, coaches, etc. cannot drink while on the job." As far as "guests", I don't know how often guests of players or coaches are on team flights, but who knows?

There's PLENTY of time for players and coaches to go and tip a few back. The NFL is undergoing a serious public relations nightmare recently with Pacman Jones, Mike Vick (allegedly), and 50% of the Cincinnati Bengals roster. After what happened with Josh Hancock (albeit an entirely different sport and not part of a team function), the last thing they'd want is something happening with one of their players after a team function.
