Drunk on a Plane: Do we get drunker at high altitude?
Do we really get drunker when we drink on a plane? The theory goes that altitude exaggerates our state of intoxication, so that 2 drinks in flight is like 4 on the ground. The reality is more complicated. Some academic studies support the theory, but others flatly contradict it. Overall, no one has really cared enough to prove it. So, we may never know if we really do get drunker at altitude.
