Ginger ale is one of my favourite soft drinks. Yes, I don’t consume hard-drinks and always advocate people to quit it because one doesn’t realise when hobby becomes addiction and addiction of anything is bad. In this post, I am sharing the reason why I always order ginger ale on a flight but before that, let share a bit about this wonderful soft drink.
So, Ginger ale is a carbonated soft drink that is flavored with ginger. It is typically sweetened with sugar or high-fructose corn syrup and can come in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties, though I prefer non-alcoholic version always. Ginger ale has a distinctive spicy and sweet taste that is derived from the natural ginger root and this is why it is so popular.
Ginger ale has been popular for over a century, and is commonly consumed as a non-alcoholic beverage. It is often used as a mixer in cocktails and is particularly well-known for its use in the “Dark and Stormy” cocktail, which combines ginger ale with dark rum.
Anyway, so in this post, I am telling you why I always order Ginger ale on a flight. It is not just about choice but also have other benefits. If it is a long flight, then you too should order ginger ale on a flight and here’s why:
- Settling an upset stomach: Ginger is known to have anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea properties, and many people find that drinking ginger ale can help soothe an upset stomach or reduce feelings of nausea that can sometimes occur during a flight.
- Dehydration: Air travel can be dehydrating due to the low humidity levels in the cabin. Ginger ale is a carbonated beverage that can help people stay hydrated during a flight.
- Taste preference: Some people simply enjoy the taste of ginger ale and prefer to drink it over other beverages that may be offered on a flight. It doesn’t make you feel nausea because of its spicy-sweet taste.
- Motion sickness: And because it helps you get rid-off nausea, it also helps people with motion sickness. So, if you feel like vomiting or you are someone who gets headache during the flights, ginger ale is your drink!
- Won’t bloat or make gas: Ginger ale, unlike other soft drinks, doesn’t make you feel bloated or make gas in stomach. This means you’ll feel full and get some burps and sorted.
Now you know why you should also prefer ordering ginger ale on a plane. I am a frequent flyer and I will never suggest you anything that is wrong or harmful. Although, if you are someone who has never tried ginger ale ever before, then first try it normally and then if you like it, then only get it on plane; not recommending you to try it for the first time.
