wouldn't let math majors be kamikazes

What was the drink they were taking before they took off on Kamikaze mission ? They had a ceremony where they sang national anthem I guessed and drank something (maybe amphetamines?)

I dreamt of a roaring river and a woman that was a fish. Dead she drifted, with red tears...

It was sake, Japanese rice wine. Sake is a big part of Japanese culture and has always been used in certain ceremonial situations. Kamikaze pilots flying off to their death had such ceremonies before they took off.

Ok Thanks
Have had my experience with hot saki when I was in my 20s and do not want to revisit. My head felt like something exploded inside of it the next day. (BTW it was an extra tall bottle my friend Mei brought over so...challenge was accepted).

The movie was really good-I find myself thinking back on scenes in my head.

In that particular situation though they would have been using water as it was symbolic of the purity of the spirit.
