A recent study published in the medical journal Thorax observed that consuming alcohol and sleeping in a low air pressure environment similar to that on airplanes led to decreased blood oxygen and increased heart rates, even in young and healthy individuals. The combination of alcohol intake and sleeping under hypobaric conditions poses strain on the cardiac system, potentially exacerbating symptoms in patients with cardiac or pulmonary diseases. Researchers recommend restricting in-flight alcohol consumption to reduce the risk of health complications and medical emergencies.
