drunkonauts

Seems to be a thing today about drunk NASA astronauts.

>>>
Aviation Week & Space Technology reported on its Web site that a special panel studying astronaut health found that on two occasions, astronauts were allowed to fly after flight surgeons and other astronauts warned they were so drunk they posed a safety risk.

The independent panel also found "heavy use of alcohol" before launch — within the standard 12-hour "bottle-to-throttle" rule, the magazine reported.

I can't see why you would want to drink before you sat in a massive rocket that was about to to be shot into space.
