Ah yes, the good old days of RAFG.
When I was just in, (and before my Aircrew days), there was a Bucc which crashed just outside Weeze, (1983 to be exact) and I will never, ever forget being sat in the mess next to a guy who, pissed and upon hearing the alarm, said "Well, Juliet WAS ( juliet being, of course, the aircraft)". It shocked me then, still shocks me now and was then and is to me at least still the epitome of casual, NIMBY drinking.
I have since seen, on a regular basis, kites pile in for various reasons. Alcohol is not normally counted as a factor, either from an Aircrew or Liney angle because of politics. What really, really galls me, is that there are still an incredible amount of guys who seem to regard 9 or 10 pints a night as a normal thing.
Discuss????
Lets face it, It is endemic, it is a problem and it does cause problems.
