I have never understood why people drink alcohol before and during flights, if there is an accident surely you want to be as alert as possible to maximize your ability to respond quickly to the situation?
And if you are soo terrified of flying that you need to be at least a bit tipsy to fly, get some therapy or don't fly.
i think if you live your life dictated solely by your relative likelihood to die suddenly you might need to get some therapy
Then I am happy to report that I am not i that category, I don't worry that it will happen on my plane, but that doesn't mean I am going to be reckless.
I think it is a bigger issue that you can't go a few hours without drinking alcohol.
"can't go without" is such a weird way to describe people who drink on planes
like i get that the entire point of this is some weird moralistic high horse thing, but if you're going on a plane to travel for leisure, the entire thing is already unnecessary
"wow people physically can't even go 2 years without a trip away what addicts"
Moral has nothing to do with it, logic has, I don't want to be stuck next to a drunk guy in case of an accident.
presumably you'd never drink at a bar or restaurant either then? because obviously you're far more likely to need to respond to something there than on a plane
and given what percentage of accidents happen in the home, i guess that's out too
I have never really gone out to a bar or restaurant to drink, that has never interested me, I do go to restaurants and from time to time have a glass of cider or wine with my food, but then I mostly switch to water.
I can confidentally say that I have never been drunk in my 36 years, it has never interested me.
wait until you hear about this type of establishment called a "pub"
