FUI

i have an 8 hr flight..
for some reason,if i have wine or beer,and i mean just a glass ,i get terribly drunk...
what on earth could be causing this?
last week, i had very little recollection of how i got home.It almost felt like some spiked my drinks. Can i hold the airlines liable?

Well, dropping six Valium before getting on the plane is generally a bad idea. HopeHoops Sep 2012 #4

also why Coors is so weak.

A low oxygen levels, the alcohol acts faster and harder.

I would spend the whole time in the lavatory hugging the stainless steel toilet if I had ANY alcohol on a flight, I get airsick anyway
