Diamond explains to Estelle that although El Paso is theoretically a "dry" town in that it is forbidden to serve mixed drinks there, it is full of liquor stores. So, soldiers in need of a drink merely buy the liquor, and then order the mixers separately from hotels or bars. Sidney tells Estelle that he is an overstrength officer; the company already has full complement of officers so he is void of any duties of consequence. He also describes the curfew system implemented in the camp.
