Camp America - alcohol.

I'm currently in the process of signing up for Camp America this summer. After just returning from a 3 month stretch of backpacking SE Asia I'm excited to get abroad again.

But, I don't want to sound like an alcoholic here, but it appears that Camp America etc are rather strict on their alcohol policy - regardless of age. Does this even include days off? Going potentially nine or so weeks without a beer is pretty intense, especially seeing as it'll be my 22nd birthday over there at one point too. I'm not exactly going there to drink all the time or anything, but a good drink here and there would definitely be welcome. I know it's against the rules to drink on camp itself but surely if there was a bar in some nearby town, that should be okay surely?

So anybody that's been Camp America or such like, can you explain and go over what it was like from a drinking perspective when you were there? Please don't give me a butthurt rant about how bad drinking is etc. Even if you didn't drink yourself; what did other workers there do when they fancied a pint in their time off?

Thanks.
