I started reading, thinking WTF! then saw the poster name...
We actually got beer and hard liqueur in South Yemen. 4 cases and 4 liters per month. It was part of our compensation. Selling it was a firing offence, immediate, that is the next plane, which might be next week.
60 miles from the nearest paved road, probably 100 miles to the nearest flush toilet (besides ours), 3,500 hundred ugly construction guys an no women.
8 weeks of 12/7 days then 2 weeks paid vacation. R&R was mandatory but we could trade weeks with others to maintain staff on site.
I made the mistake of agreeing to work 13 weeks straight once. June to August, we saw 125°F most days, probably 5 months between the slightest rain. I quit 3 times during that period, but got talked back into staying before I could get a plane out each time.
I've got a reputation, don't I?

Suppose someone is an alcoholic? Do they force them to drink?
