I was referring to the practice of pouring alcohol-based lacquers and glues [like glue "BF-2", IIRC] into salted water, and then, after [most of] the dissolved materials from glues and lacquers coagulated, inserting in the mix a drill bit attached to an electric drill, and starting the drill - the gooey glob would adhere to the bit and could be withdrawn and removed. What remained, was drunk.
When I lived and worked there, every morning on my way to work I used to go past a pharmacy, and every morning on the steps leading to it there would be the same group of "alcanauts" waiting for it to open [colognes were sold in pharmacies, and were much cheaper than vodka per alcohol equivalent. By law the alcohol going into perfumes was not denaturated].

I had a feeling it was something like that, hence my equation. I wasn't correcting your spelling.
