Apparently alcohol does a grand job of absorbing radiation.

And I read this a long time ago so it wasnt something I overheard in the pub in Hamilton.

So downing a bottle of spirits before the bomb goes off is not only fun but will help you to reduce the amount of radiation fallout that your body is exposed to.

PS Do be careful drinking a bottle of spirits too quickly can lead to death

PSP Dont try this at home kids

I think by todays standards those were pretty insignificant wee bombs ... something in the order of 1000times less powerful, plus 'modern' practice would be to drop a few on the same place - guaranteeing total destruction.
