They won’t stop serving alcohol because it would make the jobs unappealing… Maybe they shouldn’t want the kind of employees that find deployment appealing only if alcohol is available, but that might just be me 🤷
Because they have the proof that allowing people isolated in a small group for extended periods of time to drink alcohol leads to issues including violence and sexual crimes.
If you like alcohol so much that you wouldn’t consider going to work in a “dry town” then chances are that you will end up being exactly the kind of person they don’t need to have living at the research station.
