Alcohol in Space: Past, Present and Future
by Chris Carberry Foreword by Andy Weir The production and consumption of alcohol has played a significant role in human society since the dawn of civilization. Will this still hold true when humanity is exploring and settling the outer reaches of space? This first book on the topic examines the history of alcohol in space, as well as dozens of companies and projects that are exploring the possibilities of alcohol production in orbit. Covering the long history of alcohol in human society, how alcohol has been addressed in science fiction, and space agriculture technologies, this book investigates a broad sweep of questions that bear on the manufacture of alcohol in space, as well as human space settlement in general. - Paperback: 217 pages

It's been a long time since I read it, but if I'm not mistaken, Mary Roach's book "Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void" touched on the subject of alcohol in space and alluded that the Russian cosmonauts had snuck booze into space and imbibed from time to time. While it was all anecdotal, it's not out of the realm of possibility that this has already happened. |

Astronomers know there's huge cloud of methyl alcohol in outer space and spaceflight fans are probably aware that French CNES astronaut Patrick Baudry flew a bottle of French wine aboard space shuttle Discovery in June 1985. | |
