“They will still be able to bring their own alcohol to drink at the bars … The current alcohol ration allows Antarctic workers to buy up to the equivalent of 18 beers each week, or three bottles of wine, or a 750 milliliter (25 ounce) bottle of spirits.“ It seems like they’ll still be able to get plenty of alcohol

Alcohol is not banned. Purchase of alcohol at bars is. Employees can still buy alcohol at the store.

It&#x27;s happening because the perpetrators feel empowered and free of reprecussions. Put people in the jungle they start acting like apes.

This conduct is such a disappointment.<p>These scientists are supposed to be some of the greatest people in their fields, working in the most desired jobs, in a unique beautiful place which costs normal people the price of a car to even visit briefly.<p>And what do they do with their special privileged time in this amazing place?<p>Sexually harass women.<p>Throw them in the goddamn frozen ocean.
