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

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

Before you get started, there are some practical considerations. If you’re sitting up front --- in first or business class --- this generally isn't for you. This is for travelers who get their airplane wine in a single-serving resealable plastic bottle to pour themselves."

Hangovers Don't Delay the Next Drink, Study Finds

Updated July 18, 2023

The original link broke.

You can still read about the same topic here:

---  the original post follows below  ---

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.

Although many people say having another drink will help cure a hangover, others think a hangover will delay further drinking. 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."

Drinking Too Much? Don't Count On Your Doctor To Ask : Shots - Health News : NPR:

"Studies have found that having that conversation and making a plan can cut a person's alcohol consumption by up to 25 percent. That could make a substantial dent in the 88,000 deaths each year caused by alcohol, as well as $224 billion in economic costs. Most of those problems are caused by drinkers who aren't alcoholics, Frieden sad."

2013: The Year of the Fearless International Traveler | Peggy Goldman:

"Our most impressive finding was this: Most travelers aren't letting anything get in the way of their international travel plans. Sixty percent of travelers that we surveyed reported that despite recent events such as cruise disasters or acts of terror, they feel as safe traveling now as they did five years ago.
