Quite sure they want absolutely no alcohol in your room or you consuming any alcohol while in orientation.

 

time to give up the booze......no drinking means no issues..

 

Melton'a orrientation is pretty layed back when it comes to activities in the evening, you may ask this in the "starting orrientation in July" by gr8dane

 

I drank in hotel after the pee and drug test.

 

Just don't be late or smell of booze

 

Words of wisdom right there, I tell ya.

 

a couple guys drank during after hours when back at the hotel when i was in orientation.
during the weekend when everyone was waiting for trainers they let everyone go wherever they wanted, gave us a van to use for the weekend.
just dont park the van in front of a stripper bar we were told haha

the weekend after orientation was a special circumstance, melton was having a party for their million milers, at a casino/bar type place...we were told trainers wouldnt be ready til sunday/monday so i think that may be why they were more lenient.

im pretty sure after orientation you arent supposed to though. they are paying for the hotel and etc so they consider you 'on duty'
