In a similar vein to the above.

Just before the ground war started, a Padre arrived on the nightly TriStar in Riyadh. He was on moving to Al Jubail where he was to give Communion to the troops before they went into action.

Obviously he couldn't give Communion with wine as that was not allowed. Instead he had a couple of boxes of "Heavenly Liquid"

A couple of days later the same Padre was flown back as he had injured himself falling into a slit trench in the dark cracking a couple of ribs or similar. A touch too much of the heavenly liquid suggested me.
