I've never flown on a DC-10.........should I just blow my brains out now?

But seriously, is it as bad as I've read? I've done coach on a US 767 to AMS and it was tolerable. I might just consider several martinis at the Westin with one of "mother's little helpers" and hopefully sleep the whole way.
