Imagine this: you’re sitting on a plane, waiting for the drink cart to come around, and you order a Bloody Mary because it’s the perfect flight cocktail, right? Well, not so fast! A seasoned flight attendant with 22 years of experience spills the tea — Bloody Mary is actually the worst drink to order on a plane. Why? Because of the high sodium content in tomato juice, the main ingredient, which can quickly dehydrate you, and the vodka’s alcohol only makes it worse.
But wait, there’s more! This flight attendant also drops a bombshell — the water on planes isn’t what you think. The water used to make coffee or tea comes from the plane’s own tanks and isn’t exactly safe to drink. So next time you’re offered a Bloody Mary or a glass of tap water, maybe think twice!
Bloody Mary is known as a morning or “brunch” cocktail, famous for helping with hangovers, with its salty, spicy flavor often garnished with celery stalks, olives, pickles, lemon, or even bacon bits. The name supposedly comes from Queen Mary I of England, infamous for persecuting Protestants. But no matter how popular, this cocktail can be a nightmare for your body during a flight.
Picture this: you’re on a long flight, already dehydrated due to the low cabin pressure, and you order a drink that will dry you out even more! No wonder the flight attendant advises avoiding Bloody Mary and sticking to safer options. And yes, forget about tap water on planes — better go for bottled water or another drink.
Next time you’re flying, remember this warning and maybe dodge some discomfort and dehydration. And if you’re a Bloody Mary fan, maybe it’s time to rethink your habits. Or hey, maybe this is just another reason to laugh at the weird rules of flying. Who knows? Drop a comment if you’ve ever had a bad Bloody Mary experience on a plane, or if you’re brave enough to order it every time. Let’s share some laughs or tears over this airborne secret!
