It can be just drinking a few pegs at home or maybe visiting a bar to sip on fancy cocktails.

It is very common in fauji and military canteens for the alcohol prices to be this low. The reason behind such lower prices is that officers and personnel do not need to pay the central excise duty and they get alcohol and even grocery products quite cheaply. In comparison to the market value, the prices in the canteen are lesser than by about 10% to 15%.
Twitterati Are Sharing Their Experiences Too!
Many Netizens even wrote about how this is very common for faujis. They shared how this happens in every Navy officers’ mess in the country.
