In 3 days I shall have to endure enjoy a 7.5 hour flight home with my 3 kids and wife in tow. On our last flight, the littlest one unleashed screams of the damned of hades cried somewhat upon boarding the return flight, and didn't cease until landing and deboarding some 2 hours later. We know antihistamines have no effect on this kid, his mutant metabolism laughs in the face of drugs his twee body and mind so alarmed at the flight. I have to drive 90 miles after landing, since my wife refuses to (a) drive on the correct side and (b) drive a manual shift vehicle. Would it be wrong of me to accidently ingest a couple of Benedryl and then stupidly drink a glass of wine on the flight? It certainly works on me ..

How could it be wrong when it feels so right.

Why take a chance with the Benedryl? :)

As a father of many and having travelled with them, yes, it would be wrong. Secondly, it would be blatantly dangerous to your wellbeing. With 3 kids, you ought to know better ;) but I understand. I am never the evil glare guy on a plane. At least not to someone with a toddler -> infant. They don't understand about pressure on the ears. HOWEVER, I will give the glare to older kids that are being bad...

Harmful Interactions - Mixing medicine with alcohol http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/Medicine/medicine.htm[^] Benadryl is one of the drugs mentioned at that site.

Obviously the kid remembered, from the first flight, what a miserable flying companion you are and was dreading the return. By all means, drug yourself into oblivion and give the kid a break, then let the wifey drive home. If you take enough of the stuff, you won't care what side of the road she prefers. If other drivers have a problem with that, let them deal with it.

On both journeys he was sat with my wife. You could be on to something ...

Might I suggest a sinus decongestant, rather than an antihistamine? I have minor chronic allergies, which results in congestion and specifically a problem with pain in my ears due to cabin pressure. My ears don't "pop" very well (if at all) and let the pressure normalize. If your little one has this problem, a decongestant like Sudafed an hour before your flight (and every four hours during) might help. The down side is that some decongestants act as something of a stimulant. Talk to your pediatrician and see what they suggest.
