Q: CHOICE travel insurance buying guide mentions alcohol-related exclusions for insurance:


  Alcohol
  
  Cover for overdoing it on vodka and Red Bull and float-tubing down a
  river in Laos isn't included in any policy. Insurers simply won't pay
  for costs arising from you being under the influence of alcohol or a
  drug (except where taken under the advice of a doctor).
  
  Case study: Jenny*
  
  Jenny was nightclubbing with friends in Bali, Indonesia, when she
  became ill after drinking a cocktail. Her friends recognised the
  symptoms of methanol poisoning and rushed her to hospital.
  
  Fortunately, Jenny recovered after two weeks of care. But because she
  had been drinking alcohol at the time she was poisoned, her insurer
  refused to pay the claim.
  
  Jenny's cash-strapped family had to sell their car to pay the $25,000
  in medical expenses.

Alcohol and travel insurance: how does drinking impact your cover? has a look at various travel insurance policies, and lists alcohol-related exclusions for them. For what it's worth, it mentions that just because a company has an exclusion, it's not necessarily a blanket exclusion, such as Southern Cross Travel Insurance (expanded on in their blog post They say "Nothing good happens after midnight!").

I'm aware of the risks of excessive drinking, and I'm not a big drinker - I'm often the only person in a gathering that isn't drinking, but I occasionally have a foreign drink or two when travelling, such as sake or plum wine.

Is it practical to find travel insurance for Australians that has no alcohol-related exclusions at all?

Q: I'm flying United from Melb to Mexico City, with a transfer at LAX. MEL=>LAX UA99, LAX=>MEX UA1077.

These were booked on "one ticket" (I believe I'm using the term correctly?), I paid United once and have a single itinerary describing all the flights.

I am now learning that the transfer time for these flight is perhaps tighter than I should have booked (1h45m). I have never travelled internationally before and just picked the one with the shortest layover.

According to step 5 here[1] I don't have to pass through customs, though I'd hardly say its a reliable resource.

This map seems to show UA exclusively limited to terminal 7/8 and apparently there is an "airside" inter-terminal connection between 6,7 and 8.

So I'm figuring that if UA99 lands at 7/8 and UA1077 departs from 7/8, then I can get off one plane, walk to the gate and get on the next, without any customs or immigration? I'm also carry-on only, so no bags to drop/collect/etc.

Is it reasonable to think that?

Relatedly, if I was to miss my connection due to immigration, delays, etc, would United rebook me to the next available since I booked "one ticket"?

Q: How soon can I return to the US from the UK on an ESTA after abandoning the K1 visa

Background

My finacee and I were going to marry in the US as she was doing a PHD there (she is American). However whilst I was over there on my K1 visa, she decided to transfer her PHD to the UK. So we didn't go ahead with a wedding there.
I returned to the UK after spending the maximum 90 days there. Now I would like to return on an ESTA for a month or so. Ideally, I want to go back right away, I know much of the decision will be made at the border, but I can explain the situation well enough and i'm not concerned with the border officer not believing me as I have the expired K1 with me. I'm just wondering if I may have missed anything obvious? And if I get denied at the border, what impact it will have on future ESTA travel.
