I know that right now I couldn't fly sober.
I think thats a false belief Midton.
Today I really dont like flying and when I do I have alcohol to sooth my nerves.. And it helps..
I disagree Sydneyman - I think it ends up increasing your anxiety where you have not only the anxiety of flying but also the anxiety of wanting a drink...it reinforces a pattern of behaviour where you come to believe you cannot fly without drinking.
I'm not trying to be a hardass here or start a fight - I understand that the world seems less safe than it used to...but I think there's a lot of addictive voice in statements like these and I think they need to be challenged here on a site like SR.
