Should You Drink Alcohol on an Airplane?

Research suggests there are risks to imbibing on a flight, especially for some older travelers.

By Grace Dickinson, AARP. Published September 19, 2024.

Air travel can be stressful for any number of reasons, from flight delays to chaotic airports to cramped seating situations and beyond. No surprise then that some travelers reach for a glass of wine or a cocktail after boarding to help them unwind.

But new research suggests you may want to think twice before ordering an alcoholic beverage, especially if napping is also part of your in-flight plans.
