Gunfire Rum Tea Crashes Jeeps

In the British Army, "gunfire" is a traditional drink of black tea mixed with rum, which officers serve to lower ranks on Christmas. During the Korean War, some British soldiers shared gunfire with American military police who were not used to the potent mix. After drinking it, the MPs tried to drive an ARV and several Jeeps and ended up crashing them into a fence.
