This is why we feel dried out and jet lagged no matter what time zones we crossed and how.Also, according to the <a href="https://www.health.com/drinking-alcohol-on-planes-health-effects-8660627">Health</a> website, drinking those adult beverages can put extra stress on our cardiovascular system because of the pressurization.Mixing these lower oxygen levels in our blood with alcohol is exactly why that beer or mini bottle of vodka not only tastes different but also hits us differently. Carbonated drinks whether it's champagne or a rum with coke could hit your system more quickly according to Eater.Our bodies are already working harder to circulate blood and oxygen when flying according to Health, so if some healthy people can still be negatively affected, think how people with underlying conditions can be affected.If the goal is for alcohol to help you sleep on a plane, even if you fall asleep, you're barely reaching REM which is the sleep we need to truly be rested and rejuvenated.Best Adult Beverages to Drink on PlanesBloody Mary's and fruitier wines are the best if you must drink while flying. If you prefer to drink beer or carbonated mixed drinks for what ever reason while traveling, drink those at the airport bar prior to boarding according to Eater.As with everything in life, always drink water to stay hydrated when flying, especially if you plan to partake.<h2>Movies You Never Realized Were Steven Spielberg Productions</h2>You may not have realized it, but Steven Spielberg has produced a ton of movies he didn’t produce — including the 15 titles below.<h2>14 Most Expensive Items When Going Back to School</h2>When preparing for a new school year here is a look at some of the most expensive items you'll need to purchase.</div></body>
