True... also true for a while after WWII, and not just in the military. My mother practiced medicine in the UK for a while, and she tells me that she would often see on patients' charts, "One pint Guinness, hours of sleep." (i.e. give the patient a pint of Guinness at bedtime.) Alternatively, the patient could be offered a shot of whiskey.
Now I want a Guinness... and I'm low-carbing...
