    But inspectors regularly found caches of booze aboard Russian space stations
    One cosmonaut crash-dieted to stash cognac in his suit and maintain his weight
    NASA astronauts once joined their cosmonauts at a 'cognac party' aboard Mir "

    Astronauts have snuck alcohol into space in hollowed-out books and pouches in their spacesuits | Daily Mail Online
