Oliver Reed once drank over 100 pints of beer in 24 hours and then did a horizontal handstand on the bar (see above!). When Burton was shooting The Spy Who Came in From the Cold in Ireland, one scene required him to down a glass of whiskey. The props department brought in the usual substitute, flat ginger ale, but Burton waved it away. “It's only a short scene, won't need more than a couple of takes. Bring me some real whiskey.” In fact, getting the scene right took 47 takes, so he drank 47 whiskeys.
 
A rocketeer friend Jeremy had a hybrid rocket that he named “Drunk & Disorderly”.

Captain Low & Slow and I used to say WE were “rocket monkeys” but Jeremy was a rocket scientist.

Pretty sure Jeremy and his wife Gina are L3 now. Certainly Jeremy.
