A couple of times now I have drank merrily, slept blissfully, then woke up with a headache with a few hours still to go. Now getting a hangover on a flight is not big nor clever...
The champagne on board is pretty dire. My own regime is to try as much of the wine selection as possible and then make informed, Michael Winner-esque recommendations to your seatmate....actually no scrap that for an idea....[8D]
By the way, i just remembered the thread topic. I think if you've ever travelled longhaul in economy, drunk like a trooper and not moved about and you're still reading this....
On occasion I have had far too much to drink (we're not talking about the regular event known as 'weekend' here) [}:)] and you are right it's certainly not big or clever! Fortunately I didn't used to get hangovers
Hubby still refuses to wear the flight socks, has "never taken a tablet in his life" and refuses to start now and thank goodness has a constitution of steel and never really get's drunk no matter how much he drinks and believe me he tries! (don't you just hate people like that??)
My cautiousness now is only because I have been very ill and must be down to my (finally) growing up?! (though some would disagree here)
I agree with mitchja though, that these problems can arise sitting anywhere in the same position for long periods.
I checked out a lot of websites before I went away after my surgery because I knew I was at high risk and I take the precautions that were recommended. I don't think you can do much more than that and as Fozzyo says it could as easily be the number 14 bus that gets ya!
