Astronauts are banned from drinking alcohol at work, but this hasn't stopped them sneaking everything from communion wine to cognac into space

• NASA and other space agencies have banned alcohol in space because it can damage equipment.
• But astronauts have found ways around this and smuggled alcohol onto spacecrafts for decades. 
• Russian cosmonauts have even hidden bottles of alcohol in their spacesuits and hollowed-out books. 

Space agencies have, understandably, banned the consumption of alcohol in space, but astronauts have been finding ways around this for decades by smuggling booze onto spacecrafts and getting drunk.
