    Drinking aftershave?!? Barney Gumble wouldn't even stoop that low. If he can't find an alcoholic beverage he settles for varnish or brake fluid. But aftershave? :yuck:

    Actually, even when Russia, as the Soviet Union, was a superpower, the ingenuity of recruits in its armed forces in distilling alcohol from the weirdest kinds of liquid was legendary. In a sense, the story is really a carryover from the glory days of Mother Russia.

    There are stories from WWII of our own submariners taking condensed orange juice and fuel from the torpedoes to make a rather...numbing...beverage.

    I wonder if that's where the name "screwdriver" got its origin -- referring to the screws of the torpedo.
