Russian Cosmonauts Admit to Smuggling Alcohol in Space as 'Juice Bottles'

Being an astronaut is a serious job, however, sometimes they make room for some fun. "Fun" like drinking alcohol, is a strictly prohibited activity in space. But now and again, astronauts have tried to break this rule.

A few Russian cosmonauts have been known to "smuggle" bottles of cognac in their spacesuits.  They have admitted to using methods like mislabeling them as "juice bottles" or placing them inside hollowed-out books.
