I reject the premise that it is any harder for military officers to stay off booze than it is for any other demographic group without a scientifically verified genetic predisposition.

I agree. The title has a misleading and unsupported premise.

Broad statement and should be edited. I have been an officer for 7 years but did 29 enlisted. Seen drinkers on both sides and usually the under 25 crowd that are the problem. I don't includes every under 25 year old in the statement.
