Igor Volk and Salyut 7

[edit]

The article said that Igor Volk brought alcohol to Salyut 7 in 1971, which is impossible because Salyut 7 was launched in 1982 and Volk's only spaceflight was in 1984. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.195.53.222 (talk) 20:49, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is unlikely that alcohol as a social beverage will find its way into space, at least until relatively large and stable settlements are established. Alcohol, as a recreational drug, may be keenly missed by space travelers, since there is evidence that alcohol plays an important social role in exotic environments (p.8) ... With this level of cultural acceptance, alcohol could find its way into space when resupply arrangements are in place and when storage capacity is plentiful ... It is reasonable to assume that substitute methods of gratification will be sought, perhaps including the use of alcohol or other diverting drugs. Alternately, the self-censuring which restricts competitive interaction in confinement may also preclude the use of drugs (p. 246) ... If alcohol or drugs were to be available in space, problems associated with grief responses could be aggravated (p. 261)
