Is the stuff the M*A*S*H cast drank from the still real alcohol , or was it just water? I've always wondered this....:confused:

It was probably just water! I doubt it'd be real.

When I was 12, I remade my room to be a miniature SWAMP, complete with a still....Actually, it was just a couple of tupperware containers connected with funnels and straws that held water, so maybe that's why I lean towards it just be water!

NEAT! Did you wear a red bathrobe too?

Considering the amount of times they film a scene from different angles, and the number of takes they do for a particular shot. It would be safe to assume that the actors would probably be pretty smashed after a day of filming.

I never heard this, but I can tell you that it DEFINETALY wasn't real, because the F.C.C. (Federal Comunications Corporation-the company that regulates TV) has a rule that says you can't drink alcohol on TV. Besides, like someone else said, with all the takes they had to do (sometimes it takes 3 hours to shoot a half-hour sitcom) you can just imagine what it'd be like if they really did drink alcohol!!!:lol: :lol:

That's also why they never served real drinks on "Cheers", and why they didn't, and don't, in other sitcoms.
