There's a reason alcohol is so generously consumed in airplanes and airports. Obviously you don't want to show up at a rental car counter or business meeting stinking drunk, but it's amazing what just one drink can do for your nerves. For dealing with turbulence, I gain an amazing amount of comfort by holding onto something rigid- the armrest, the tray table, or if all else fails the front of the seat between the legs. The higher brain functions know better, but this seems to soothe the beast within.
