why is that?

This is very unlikely unless you are really susceptible to altitude changes. The average pressurized aircraft maintains a cabin altiitude of 6000-8000 feet when at cruise altitude. This means while you are cruising along at 25-35000, the inside of the cabin has the same air density as if you were on a mountain of say 8000 ft.

Close... one glass of wine COSTS 2-3 times what it would on the ground :)

At altitude, alcohol gets absorbed into the blood stream at a volume per red blood cell (RBC) higher rate, due to the decrease of air pressure within the cabin.

I seriously doubt if that is in fact true. If that was true then all the college kids that attend Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff AZ-airport elevation 7014'- would spend 2/3 less money in order to get drunk on weekends.

The air in an aircraft is very dry, and the body tends to dehydrate.
Alcohol, (and coffee) tends to add to this effect.
