Alcoholics sometimes blow up and die in a gory mess on plane flights, yet there are pretty much no warnings about this anywhere.

That’s right, over time alcohol will weaken your blood vessels enough so that the low cabin air pressure on a plane can cause blood vessels to rupture. I saw a video a while back of an older gentleman who had this happen to him, and he died due to blood loss. It’s really quite unbelievable that alcohol is not just legal but encouraged in the Western world.
