Time to bring back the Soviet aircraft designs with tappable ethanol reservoirs
They still do in Poland at least. I heard a story from an airman about getting a ridiculous alotment of it for barely any flight hours. It was used as antifreeze for windshields. And then they "sprayed it a lot, because it's like budgets, you don't use it all, you lose it". And when saying "sprayed it" he did a motion of chugging a bottle of vodka.
