Has alcohol ever been consumed in space?
$begingroup$
Conversation at the bar led to space travel, and whether each of us would commit to the journey to Mars. It came up that instead of going to the bar, you would need to brew your own beer.
This led to the question:

We reside within space, so yes. I assume you mean outer space. I know it's splitting hairs but this one grinds my gears.

@RobbyReindeer you're right, I agree. Although, generally, readers of StackExchange are humans, and humans have brain features that allow them to understand meaning from context. For instance, alcohol here refers to beverages containing ethanol, although it's not clearly specified.

@RobbyReindeer Can you specify which particular gears this grinds? I suppose a split hair could grind a small gear, but I don't know how a word usage issue would do it, and I'm looking to learn.

Brandy was sent along with Apollo 8’s Christmas dinner -- a 2-oz airline bottle each -- but mission commander Borman, out of an abundance of caution, ordered his crew not to partake. Jim Lovell sold his Apollo 8 brandy ration at auction ten years ago.
Buzz Aldrin took a sip of wine for communion on the surface of the moon during Apollo 11.
Russian crews on Mir and ISS have definitely partaken of vodka.

I asked Oleg Kotov this exact question.
He told me that alcohol went missing from some medical kit on the ISS and was most certainly consumed in space.

I don't often upvote a post six seconds after reading the title... but when I do it's about alcohol.

We reside within space, so yes. I assume you mean outer space. I know it's splitting hairs but this one grinds my gears.

@RobbyReindeer you're right, I agree. Although, generally, readers of StackExchange are humans, and humans have brain features that allow them to understand meaning from context. For instance, alcohol here refers to beverages containing ethanol, although it's not clearly specified.

@RobbyReindeer Can you specify which particular gears this grinds? I suppose a split hair could grind a small gear, but I don't know how a word usage issue would do it, and I'm looking to learn.
