It really happened

Discover one of history's most bizarre military blunders. In 1788, the Austrian army descended into chaos during a friendly-fire incident sparked by a drunken dispute over alcohol.

A 100,000-strong force effectively defeated itself before the enemy even arrived, all starting with a squabble over schnapps.
