    It was related to nuclear subs. :shady:

    Do they allow alcohol on board US Navy subs? :dunno:

    Yes


    And No.


    Doc (actually is a Corpsman) has some medicinal alcohols.
    And when we went to the Virgin Islands, we were allowed to bring back a limited amount of alcohol (per person limit). But it was stored and locked. We got it back when we pulled back into Norfolk.
    Other than that, no alcohol.


    Brits have an "allowance". "X" amount per day (or week).
    Not a big amount.
    Usually they saved their allowance for when they pulled into port. Then drank up days and days worth of their "allowance".


    (note: my info on this subject IS 20 years old)
    And my knowledge of the Brits is limited.
    But I did serve as Liaison to a British submarine while it was in Norfolk visiting.

    I saw a documentary on French subs, they showed the officer's mess where they actually have a "wine cave" underneath the seats, with hundreds of bottles.
    They apparently serve wine with every meal.
    They store lots of cheese too of course. :):

    It would take adjustment for us to switch to something like that.
    And to tell you the truth, we have too many idiots over here telling everyone what they can/can't do.
    They don't want Playboy mags to be sold at the on base store.
    They don't want cigarettes to be sold....
    bla bla bla.

    Makes me sick
