I find that video extremely interesting...  There was an episode of MacGyver (an American TV show that aired in the late '80s and early '90s) where MacGyver used a half-empty bottle of scotch whiskey as an artificial horizon to fly an airplane through a situation where he could not see the actual horizon.  I find it very interesting to know that the premise of that show is completely false!  I figured that would work -- but clearly it won't!
