As much as we hate to admit, we're practically a feather weight when it comes to drink. Two glasses of wine and we're TKO'd. Apparently so are many members of the NY Democratic Party. Last week, the Party warned delegates about the height difference between Denver and New York putting out a disclaimer that said "Remember that drinks may go to your head faster than you're used to in New York."

Now we've all heard plenty of drinking myths – about straws, brawls, and everything in between. But this was one we'd never uncovered the truth to... until now.

A series of studies by the Federal Aviation Adminstration were done that proved the NY Dems wrong. Though simply being in altitudes of 12,000 feet or higher can certainly make you feel drowsy and can even hamper your mental and physical abilities, alcohol doesn't make the altitude factor worse. Your still going to catch a little case whether you booze or not.

But we can definitely imagine that a combination of both high altitude and bubbly will make anyone, delegate or not, get a little silly. So the warning, though not entirely true, was fair.
