Drinking in Uniform? Good idea?

I don't know if it's authorized, but it's an awful idea. In dress uniforms, where it's obvious you're celebrating some kind of special occasion, there's an obvious need for some leeway. In a working uniform, drinking generally isn't allowed at all, and it's because it looks trashy while giving an impression that isn't very flattering.

Amongst peers I think it is okay so long as the group has sense and maybe a volunteer to herd the unruly when needed.

I would like to know if it is ok to drink in the dress uniform. I will be attending a wedding and plan on wearing the dress uniform not planning on getting drunk just one or two glasses of wine. Would like to know if that is allowed?

Oh please...

ACU's in a public place drinking? Not something I would encourage or participate in. I frown on it myself. How many of them got in a car and drove home?

Personally, I don't do it. I don't particularly mind others that do. However, being drunk in uniform is a different story.

This was one area that I can admit that my views are far too extreme. Under no circumstances should a soldier ever drink while in uniform. I have been offered a lot of free drinks at air ports and not once did I accept. Even on base with my unit I would not accept. For some reason I just find it incredibly disgraceful, and I really don't know why.

I'm sure someone can fill me in on why I'm like that.

We were not allowed to wear our BDUs out socially while I was in the Army. They made us change our clothes to "go out". That being said My SM brought a bar to gunnery and had a two beer limit when we didn't have the range the next day.

Not authorized regardless of rank. Like 1sgt Nolan said, the dumbass factor has to be watched out for everywhere, social media isn't the place for your junior enlisted & nco's to see you doing shots in uniform. Whether it's a justified occasion and venue or not, the insinuation is what will destroy the discipline that was in place prior to the photo being circulated. If it was in an on post establishment & a "right arm ceremony", the photo shows senior NCO's "in a bar, at the bar doing shots with a civilian and there is no food in evidence." their juniors don't have the experience or wisdom to see anything but the obvious like I previously said.

Not something i'd condone or even practice. I went out drinking in civilians once with a fellow NCO and when their soldier came by and bought them a shot I advised them against it. Not cause drinking is bad per-say, but drinking a beverage purchased by your soldier I feel gives the wrong signals. Same for senior leaders.
