The simple way to make airplane wine taste better – Quartz:

"Shaking your wine in its bottle is the viable alternative.

Hangovers 'don't deter drinkers' - BBC News

Hangovers Don't Delay the Next Drink, Study Finds - Philly.com:

"Hangovers don't influence when people will have their next drink, according to a new study that challenges some common beliefs.

In this study of nearly 400 frequent drinkers, researchers found the unpleasant after-effects of overindulgence have little effect on the timing of the next alcoholic drink."
