How juvenile
Lufthansa is responsible for either boarding an intoxicated or serving the individual too much on board.
The airlines will ALWAYS be responsible except for weather or war.

Airlines should have a sound proof time out enclosure to keep the so unruly passenger until reaching the original destination. Person may need to be restrained for their own protection but would be neutralized and flight would be able to proceed normally.
Before the plane took off we complained to one of the crew members about this passenger. The next moment the captain arrived and asked this individual a few questions. After listening to this troublesome passengers' answers with a very slurred tongue be was asked to leave the plane. He did not even know where he had placed his hand luggage. Fortunately my wife pointed it out to the crew.
