Why You Shouldn't Copy Dolly Parton’s Favorite Airplane Drink Order
BY GENE GERRARD
As alcoholism runs in her family, Dolly Parton has never been much of a drinker. However, air turbulence makes her nervous, and a glass of wine helps settle her down.
Without a doubt, Parton is a role model for many aspiring singer-songwriters, but drinking red wine on an airplane isn't advisable.
Alcohol's damaging effects on our bodies while flying in a plane substantially increase the risks of a medical emergency, particularly for older individuals.
The Aerospace Medical Association recommends drinking one cup of water for every hour of flying, so if you want to have a glass of wine, order a cup of water as a chaser.
