Back in the 1980s, Sue Henry Renaud and I worked on sites in Arizona that
were supposed to be "dry" (government work camps dating to the early 1900s)
and found that liquor was being smuggled into the camps in soft drink
(soda) bottles.  Check information from O'Rourke's Camp, Roosevelt Dam,
Arizona through ASU-OCRM series and the Soil Systems, Inc. reports for the
work in downtown Phoenix - all dating to the early 1980s.
