Apparently some Astronauts like to take a little nip now and then, according to an article on CTV.ca.
In the aftermath of a report that claimed that some astronauts of varying nationalities had been drinking heavily before takeoff, NASA banned drinking for astronauts during the 12-hour period prior to takeoff. NASA did go on to say, however, that, "NASA said it isn't aware of any astronauts who were drunk before a flight but that it is investigating."
Apparently the new 12-hour rule is a precautionary measure until NASA can gather all the facts.None-the-less, tonight we take a look into astronauts and their various adventures.
