We aren't supposed to. Once you hit Kuwait, you are not authorized to drink alcohol until you leave. We had that fake near beer in the chow halls, (all the taste with out the buzz!) but any mind altering chemicals are not allowed. My roommate went over there the year before I did, and said that they got two beers and a shot of rum on the Marine Corps birthday. But that was it. When I went, we didn't get anything. Does it happen? Sometimes. But not as frequently as your other answerers seem to think. If you get caught, you'll ruin your career. They take that regulation pretty seriously. |

Can tell you that in 1990-1991, Persian Gulf War, over in sunny Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq, you bet yer ***! Care packages from home often included liquid gold, and there were local sources. |

hubby was in military and just came home from Iraq. the military is not allowed to drink in Iraq and just to set it straight you are on duty weather you are standing guard at a guard tower, sleeping, or taking a crap. Once in Iraq you are always on duty. If caught drinking preppier to pay the consequences.

Hell, a true Marine will drink damn near anything to get a buzz. I knew old Jarheads that would drink after shave lotion if they couldn't get booze. I will defer to a Marine who has been to Iraq regarding the availability of adult beverage and through what channels. |

Yes, they do. They enjoy a lot of the same things that they do at home. My husband is a marine, and has been stationed in Afghanistan. |

If you're in Iraq, you're in combat, and you can't drink. |

Alcohol isn't allowed in Iraq, and Marines aren't allowed to drink while on duty, so no. |

Join and find out. LOL!! Sadly no, they are not allowed to drink until they are rotated to an area that is safe for some r and r. This is a sore subject with me though. I find it insane that a person in the military can not legally drink. The nice thing is on base, where local law does not apply, they will let you drink and rightfully so. |

In Vietnam...they didnt DRINK AND HAVE BAR B Q'S... Yes they drank...but believe me it was NO PICNIC for our guys....as for Marines and other components out right now in combat...NO. They cannot drink while they are out there...Are you kidding? Would u allow urself to drink and possibly get drunk out there where there is nothing but DANGER? GET FOR REAL!! Oh and my sister was in Iraq...she spent 24 years in the Army...in alot of combat situations....and if some soldiers drink...dont u think they earned it? But not while they're in so much danger... |

nope sure don't every now and then, if they are there for new years they will give them like 1 or 2 beers, but thats it. |

They aren't suppose to but of course! Please, you think Marines won't find a way? I got a fair share of drunk calls while my hubby was in the sand box. |

I Assume they do. When we were in Vietnam all they did was drink and BARBCUE. |

Lets see...... Muslim country, in battle conditions, fatigue is sure to be a factor, Sergents and officers watching over. No, unless they do it on base with permission, or behind the latrine without permission. |

im not a marine but a soldier in the us army. alcohol is not allowed in theater.....it is not tolerated. BUT....................u know how ppl are......just like here in the states.......drugs are illegal, but ppl still do them. i was in iraq and knew of or heard of incidents where soldiers drank alcohol. if they got caught they got in serious trouble. dont judge every soldier by the few who dont follow the rules though. HOOAH! |
