Anything with an alcohol base is fair game when you're desperate enough.

I think the lowest I went was Buckfast Tonic wine or it's ertswhile US equivalent - Thunderbird (Blue label of course - I have standards).

Could be an urban legend but I remember hearing about a pub that had to stop putting the yellow disinfectant cubes in the urinals because the local saddos were stealing and SMOKING them....
