The reason that my unit was disbanded was said to be that we drank too much.

Could the increase in PTSD be a result of decreased drinking?

5 drinks in one sitting once a month is binge drinking?? Snowflakes!!! 4 or 5 before 10 was a regular week night when the ustafish was in port. 4 hours of sleep and we still got up and did our regular duties the next day. And nobody went to sick call for a hangover!!!!

Don't know which era you were in the Corps, but my experience (between 1951 & 1957) tells me that 42% is a huge drop from my era...{:-)
