Best Answer

Because you are usually drinking on an empty stomach. There is a widely-held belief that the altitude is an issue, but the pressure altitude of a airline jet's cabin is held at a minimum of 8000 feet above mean sea level. That is not sufficiently low air pressure to affect your level of intoxication. It would require a cabin altitude of 12 - 14,000 feet to have a noticeable effect, and at that pressure altitude everyone would be getting headaches. That's why the pressure is kept at 8K, along with the fact that lower pressures could precipitate other problems.

Do sweet drinks make you drunk faster?

it will depend on the alcohol content compared to other drinks. the reason people tend to get drunk faster on sweet drinks such as alco-pops is that they are easy to drink so you drink more of it faster. So it's the amount you drink and speed you drink it that gets you drunk faster. But given a certain amount of alcohol ingested, if it is enough to make you drunk under ordinary circumstanaces, it will make you drunk - and deathly ill to boot - if it is heavily laced with sugar.Say that four straight glasses of white rum will make you reeling drunk. Four straight Bahama Mommas with the same amount of rum will make you reeling drunk and miserably sick , too.
