that's why they sell alcohol at the airport AND on the plane, I usually drink before boarding.
I've only had 1 really scary situation on a plane, I was coming back from Vegas on the red eye, about an 1-1/2 of flying I was sound asleep then suddenly woke up because the plane had dropped what felt like an eternity then the plane started to shake badly you hear the engines throttle up the fasten seat belt lights came on and all I thought was I'm not drunk enough for this, needless to say I was awake for the remainder of the flight.
one other thing I don't like is flying over water, flying down to Ft. Lauderdale your over land the whole trip from Columbus then when the plane starts to bank and descend you look out the window and see nothing but the Atlantic, the ocean floor what seems like is rising while the plane descends you feel like its gonna crash in the ocean then all of sudden land and touchdown.
