This is still VERY much the case. Each month the Legion puts out a "Justice Report" detailing all the folks who got in some sort of trouble...
Last month one detail was an SF CPT who had a photo of him with a "shot" in Theater. Got back, was asked if it was alcohol, he replied in the affirm.
GOMOR and loss of his tab...$400K in training and a career basically done, over a shot of alcohol (or the reaction thereto). It is a STRICT ZERO TOLERANCE policy WRT booze...

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
