To drink alcohol or not to drink alcohol when flying US -> EUR? Your thoughts on how to best overcome jet-lag.

Flying US -> EUR, and need to be a functional human being upon arrival (work).

I'm thinking I'll drink some wine to fall easily asleep on the plane before take-off (ideally). I'm basically being a sleep-accountant here: any additional hour of sleep I can get is good, and wine might help.

But word is, any alcohol is bad when flying: it just dries you out and sleep quality will be poor.
