They should have just gotten some Kickapoo Joy Juice instead.
I know what that is, having played in the pit band in high-school production of Lil' Abner.
This is in the Wikipedia entry for KJJ:
The Wall Street Journal had a regular feature on mixed drinks, and once published in it a recipe for 'Kickapoo Joy Juice'. The backstory is that it was originally illicit hooch ginned up by soldiers during World War II, often starting from alcohol intended for fuel for torpedoes and the like.
