Drinking alcohol in space is it okay, allowed?

<blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p>I imagine that if it were me the combination of alcohol and microgravity would do unpleasant things to my stomach. But it's an interesting concept, and I've also heard that the Russians have smuggled vodka and even cigarettes onto Mir in the past.<p><hr /></p></p></blockquote><br /><br />SPACE.com had an article a while back about weird things found on Mir by astronauts. On one occasion, they found a half-empty bottle of brandy tucked behind a wall panel. If memory serves, it was cognac. Strong stuff, but tasty. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />Given that I get motion sick, I can hardly imagine what it would be like to get drunk in space.
