It doesn't take much to take down a data center, and you don't even have to be drunk. Any county yahoo with a backhoe can do the job in 30 min. OK, cancel that "don't have to be drunk" clause.

Starting in Firefox 20 private browser #1. Log into my Dev server using login ID DEVuser. Open a new private browser #2. Log into Prod server using login ID PRODuser. Now my private browser #1 is no longer DEVuser on the Dev box - it's the Prod login to the Prod server. In either Private browser window, logout. The other Private browser window is also logged out of whichever server it was logged into. So the "Private" browser windows are sharing (at the very least) cookie info.
