I am one of the hard core hunters in our group, we also have a couple that are more on the social side. I enjoy a glass of red wine or a beer when preparing the meal, than it is my usual 2 glasses of water while palying some cards and hit the rack. The rule in camp is simple you don' t go hunting if you are drunk or hung over and their is no second wake up call. If you don' t get up with the rest you are left in camp that day. We have never had an issue. The party sort to speak comes on the final evening, as their are a number of groups from all over that have been hunting the same area, we have a game feast, play some cards and enjoy stories of the weeks events and past years. It is great end to a long week and most of us are so bagged from hunting hard all week that it ends pretty early for a shin dig!

Getting drunk in camp while hunting is unacceptable and I see no need to do so. I also see no harm if the room is available to pack a few drinks for the evening after the hunt, as long as the whole group knows the score and can limit themselves appropriately.
