    Ok I was being circuitous. Distilleries do have the capacity to produce numerous chemicals. The issue is not that Russia might run out of disinfectants or antifreeze. The concern is that that breweries and distilleries are dual use facilities. They can be used to produce common consumer goods, like alcohol, but can also be converted to produce chemical and biological agents. If Ukraine is spending valuable strategic drones to blow up distilleries it could be that they just dont have any better targets, or it might be that they are desperate and trying to do anything to make a fireball, or it might be that the CIA has warned them that Russia is getting desperate and is prepping their next war crime.
