Astronauts fly drunk? A different spin on the phrase "let's get blasted"

<a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/NASA_reports_drunk_astronauts/articleshow/2238032.cms">
Who knew that drinking among some astronauts was such a problem that you needed a 12-hour "bottle to throttle" rule?</a>

 

If I knew I was about to be blasted into outer space by the lowest bidder I'd probably drink too.

 

d_b, and the title's pretty clear (crystal actually) on this one

Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to step out of the capsule....

 

Can you give me 10 seconds? 9? 8? ....

 

But, amazingly didn't come up on a search. Damn.

I'd delete the thread, but it won't let me.

 

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm pissing in my drawers
And I'm burping in a most pec-u-liar way
And the stars look oddly luminous tod-ay

For here am I chugging from a tall boy
Farting, I might hurl
Canned beer tastes like ass
But the regs prohibit glass...

 

Here am I puking out my window
Far above the world
Planet earth looks green
and something smells obscene ...
