For servicemembers . . . serving far from home . . . in conditions where there is very little rest for those who go outside the wire on a normal basis . . . things that remind them of home are some of the best things for moral, and thus their ability to conduct their duties and complete the mission objectives presented to their individual commands. And if that means, that through an ally logistics network, they can access those things that remind them of home (not near beer (O'Douls)), then so be it.
The problem lies when those servicemembers bing on these intoxicating substance and do not use it responsibly. Unfortunatly, that happens all to often, and the actions of a few servicemembers effect the privilages of all other servicemembers.
