| May 23, 2014 at 10:47 | comment | added | MSalters | @Relaxed: Arsenic tolerance does differ between persons, you do build up immunity. That's because it happens to be part of your natural diet in areas where Arsenic is common in the soil. Similarly, humans have evolved enzymes to deal with alcohol as it's not that rare in our historic diets. | |

| May 23, 2014 at 2:16 | comment | added | Aditya Somani | @Vass I agree with MSalters, that is wayy too much to be sustainable healthily. You should try and switch to some of the other solutions provided in the answers. Phew! Take care of yourself man! | |

| Oct 2, 2012 at 13:30 | comment | added | MSalters | @Vass: That is NOT healthy. I was thinking 0.5 liters of beer at most. That's similar to what our ancestors would consume when eating overripe fruits, and what adult livers can handle. | |
| Oct 2, 2012 at 12:20 | comment | added | Vass | @MSalters, I drink around 0.5 litres of beer and around 3 shots of whiskey prior to boarding and drink 2 shot of whiskey an hour during the flight to stay calm. People tell me that pills are better than this. When there is turbulence I drink and extra shot or two. During a long flight I go through 10-14 shots in total and an occasional beer. | |

Since fear of flying comes in many degrees, it's not trivial to judge how much alcohol would be necessary to overcome it and whether that's dangerous. Alcohol dis-inhibits already in low amounts. | |

| Sep 30, 2012 at 12:01 | comment | added | Michael Borgwardt | @MastaBaba: not so much an alternative as the same thing - Benzodiazepines are the most common anti-anxiety drugs and until recently also the most common sleep medication. | |
