Live From 35 000ft on VX Flight 25

I'm currently on board a Virgin America flight from SFO to JFK after a nice vacation with my family in California.

Virgin is great because it has in flight wifi, allowing me to blog from the skies, and also a little computer thingy in every seat that lets you order whatever it is your heart desires.

So I was scoping the drinks section and noticed that they had absinthe.

Yes, absinthe.

So I did what any sane person would do and ordered it right away.

45min later and I'm feeling pretty funny. I'd say it was about 2 shots worth, but at 35 000ft on an empty stomach, that stuff hits hard.

So, my good friend Lianda Swain, expert on natural health and being good looking in general, suggested I write a drunken blog post.

Instead of actually doing any work myself, I thought I would provide you with a couple useful links on the effects that alcohol has on our bodies.

So here you are, enjoy!
