time ago - I used to work with russian air crew, who used vodka for everything, from cleaning the spectacles, to wiping the windscreen, cleaning rusted nutes, to cleaning minor cuts, and wounds and scratches and whatever in between, and swore Vodka is the best anti-septic / cleaner / detergent ever invented
The part that they loved about vodka was - they used to energize themeselves before a flight (that was the scary part)
I was young and didnt know anything about drunken driving, forget about - little drunken flying. That was far off and in a different land.
