People who are anxious or have an anxiety condition need to pay attention to things that harm their health. It does not mean you get to drink, get drunk and fly.  I learned that there are a sub-genre of police body cam videos that focus on airports.
 

I gotta go cold turkey on those videos. They got me sympathetic to Spirit Airlines, may it rest in peace.


In this episode, a review of the anxiety medications, what alcohol does to you, environmental factors that could affect your consumption of booze and some of the repercussions of being intoxicated in U.S. airports.
