Drunkest Place in Universe

Interestingly enough...Sagittarius B is the answer. Its a collection of interstellar gas that contains 1 Billion, billion, billion liters of alcohol, created when formaldehyde and methanol combined. Dont get your hopes up, its about 26,000 light years away...which would take over a million years by space shuttle.

Here's a more..."scientific" link

Sagittarius B is an interstellar cloud of dust and gas located in the vicinity of the center of the Milky Way and contains significant amounts of complex organic compounds, evidence that life may be present somewhere else in the universe, aside Earth.




I'd still prefer a nice cold beer rather than a gas cloud any day.

But it does sound like they know how to party over there in Sagittarius B

For a brief period I was wondering if they were talking about my state of wisconsin. Been number one in Binge drinking since the CDC (Center for Disease Control) began their survey over a decade ago.

Hmmm, with the right equipment it would indeed be worthwhile to visit. I can see Wisconsin launching it's own probe with a distillery attached to Sagittarius B. (chuckle)

Reporter: "But sir! It's 26,000 light years away! Do you have any idea how long before it gets there?"

Official: "Can you imagine how well aged it'll be when it gets back? Launch that puppy!!"
