Why does alcohol affect you more during a flight?

booze in the air

Alcohol has more punch during an air flight than on the ground, because the body fluids evaporate quickly in the pressurized dry cabin.
Under pressure, the intestinal tract absorbs more fluids, thus making itself felt more quickly.
To reduce the dehydration caused by a long flight of six hours of more, drink three or four pints of water during the flight.
