"The presence of alcohol in the blood interferes with the normal use of oxygen by the tissues (histotoxic hypoxia). Because of reduced pressure at high altitudes and the reduced ability of the hemoglobin to absorb oxygen, the effect of alcohol in the blood, during flight at high altitudes, is much more pronounced than at sea level. The effects of one drink are magnified 2 to 3 times over the effects the same drink would have at sea level."
Now, I think they're referring to the effects at about 10,000 feet worth of altitude which is what I believe airline cabins are pressurized at while flying. Denver is about half that at 5,280 feet, so the effects won't be quite as pronounced, but still an issue. There sure are some partying skiers come to Colorado with the express purpose of taking advantage of this effect, which they usually find to have great disadvantages the next morning!
Just a little something i found, although ill continue looking for what you're actually looking for aint the easiest to find lol :-/.

Ive mentioned stuff like that,
Ive also mentioned the fact that the passenger would get intoxicated and may become aggressive and disruptive, leading to possible a possible security and safety breach, Leading to possible diversion and disembarkation of passenger, Costing the company upto £20,000
Ok I now need to know What are customs and duty free (Why they are there and what do they do?)
And thanks Dmx

If your talking about planes then altitude surely wouldn't have an effect due to the cabin being pressurised.
Customs = control of import of goods and immigrants into the country
duty free = i think, tax exemption on a certain amount of foreign goods ( up to a certain quantity)
Brilliant program to learn more about this stuff is 'nothing to declare' on Living TV lol, its all about customs in australia and i think will help you out tonnes

Thats what i thought, the obvious effect of alcohol consumption will to be, Well get pissed. Causing problems for the crew.
Thanks Geord.
But then again, People do get Altitude sickness while flying.
im sure that most airlines carry a maximum of like 2 hours pressurized air, The rest comes from another source which im unable to explain :P. What im being taught atm :S

The pressurized air is full of chemicals to try and prevent immediate sickness, but can cause future sickness.
And Deep vein thrombosis is caused by the lack of oxygen in the blood system, causing the body to produce more red blood cells. Or something like that :P
