Abstract

Alcohol abuse is antithetical to order and discipline in the military. Alcohol-related situations arise that range from inconsequential "drunken sailor" boisterousness to major scale imperiling of military missions with serious implications for readiness, safety, and security. The complex management of alcohol abuse and alcoholism in the Navy is detailed in this article, with special emphasis on legal considerations that span offenses from simple drunkenness to court martial level infractions of military and civilian criminal codes.
