YMMV. i enjoy my wine so have had plenty of trips out west drinking there and sleeping quite the first night well followed by a rough next day (obviously) and a few days of jetlag.

i also have tried this whole "dont drink it helps with jetlag" a few times and its total rubbish lol. i arrive fresh, feel better the second day but zero difference in jetlag for the next few days. so i just opt to enjoy my flight to the fullest because nothing i do has ever made a difference in the 6 years of frequent london to california travel.
