Viet Nam booze ration cut to three-fifths per man
The Pentagon said the wine and liquor ration in Viet Nam was reduced to three fifths per man for military and civilian personnel. The cut aims to curb black market sales and ease logistics while maintaining some access via packs, PXs, and dining facilities. Experts note most liquor is bought through packs or PX channels, with nightly dining rooms also offering alcohol.
