You aren't wrong, but I know a guy that would go on random binges while on leave.
One time he fucked off to Golden Gate Park, living on couches and the street, did heroin for a week and then reported for duty like nothing happened.
How he served his full 8 without discharge is beyond me.
I've also met some characters while in. Had a dude who would house Marlboro Reds in the field, but wouldn't touch them back home. Such an odd thing to me, considering how nobody really just smokes sometimes. You either smoke, smoke a cigarette when you're really drunk, or don't.
But yeah, I've just always drawn a distinction between drugs and alcohol, but maybe that distinction was drawn for me and I've just kept it out of habit. I don't think it's that, because I also won't go as far as to include caffeine in the discussion, but you can bet I'd house the caffeine mints.
Indonesian cigarettes actually taste good, so I actually DO smoke while I'm in Indonesia, but almost never (as in like 1 cigarette a DECADE) while in Canada
