Torpedo juice was one of the most dangerous drinks in history. Made with almost straight 180 proof alcohol, the drink posed a serious danger of blindness to any drinkers. This 180 proof alcohol was sourced from the fuel used to power torpedo engines during WW2.
To discourage sailors from raiding fuel supplies the navy first increased the methanol content of the alcohol

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Didn’t Bubbleheads learn to filter torpedo juice thru bread to make it safe to drink? Nuclear Submarines don’t have bread aboard anymore? Wasn’t Pumpernickel bread a better filter for torpedo juice than Wonder-bread?
