I have never understood why people drink alcohol before and during flights, if there is an accident surely you want to be as alert as possible to maximize your ability to respond quickly to the situation?
And if you are soo terrified of flying that you need to be at least a bit tipsy to fly, get some therapy or don't fly.
While the chance of dying in a plane crash is very low, if you get into a situation where the plane is going to crash then the chance of dying is very high. In which case, being drunk might make that experience a little more bearable.
Depends on the plane, if you're on a 737 Max you might want to be alert so you can grab any bits of the fuselage that start to shake loose...
