There\u2019s always a role in society or human behavior for that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>At the present moment, astronauts cannot afford to be intoxicated or inebriated in space, Hadfield said, but as space tourism grows, so might the feasibility of recreational drug use in the cosmos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the space station, if there\u2019s an emergency, you are the fire department. You can\u2019t have intoxicated yourself or inebriated yourself or whatever, just because if something goes wrong, then you\u2019ll die,\u201d Hadfield said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce the population gets large enough, once you get to a stable enough situation, people are gonna want, you know, a drink.
