The original CCC camps of the thirties were under the administrative control of the War Department, and camp discipline was maintained under Army lines, with WW1-era noncoms in charge of enforcement. There might have been the occasional crap game behind the barracks, but alcohol wasn't tolerated.
Any CCC man looking for debauchery had to wait his turn to get a pass into the nearest town, where he might find a place selling beer or a dime-a-bounce small-town prostitute. Most of the camps were far from the bright lights, and a small-town movie was generally the extent of the recreation options.
