Alcoholic beverages are considered contraband, and always have been. In war time, though, officers tend to look the other way unless things get out of hand. It is also (and always has been) a court martial offense to be drunk on duty. In extreme circumstances, it can be considered treason.

Huh. Confused | :confused:

I was in the Infantry for 4.5 years and we were allowed to have alcohol in the barracks, if over 21 - never contraband. The onpost PX sells Everclear for phucks sake. We were not allowed to be drunk on duty, but it was never, ever enforced with court martial. I used to get drunk with our LT all the time.

Treason??? WTF, are you smoking? Laugh | :laugh:
