"They fly in orbit for half a year and perform a heavy workload, especially during exhausting space walks when they shed several kilos in weight over a few hours," said a source in the Russian medical support teams for the manned space program. "Many people think a small ration of alcohol would help restore their strength."Why not? It always helps me. In fact, I remember one time years ago that I had my strength restored to the point where I was strong enough to lift a car. Boy, it's a good thing someone stopped me because I might have accidently dropped it.

the Brits can send ale, the Germans lagers, the French wines (heh), and Americans can send whiskey.
and just imagine the feats of strength that they could pull in close to zero G's.
Of course it all depends on what a "small ration of alcohol" means.
