I read through all the other comments already and I'm going to take this in another (perhaps inappropriate) direction.
In the movies and tales I've heard, the use of heroin, opium, and other drugs was fairly common in Vietnam. I have a buddy who is an Afghanistan vet and he told me they would sometimes be getting ridiculously drunk with French troops and suddenly get pulled out on patrol.
TL;DR How frequent was drug use among you and your fellow soldiers and how do you think that affected your collective experience?
