I can relate.
We been doing it for decades,a lot of fond memories.
Usually we would stay in the State and National Parks where in most cases drinking wasn't allowed, but the Rangers didn't care as long as alcohol containers were kept out of sight and everyone drank from a cup, tumbler or mug.
I've a good several stories as it seems most everytime we camped, something weird happen,especially years ago when other substances came into play.
There use to be an old Dutch Farmer up near Luray VA who would make trade of his stock of his home distilled rye. Aged in oak casts, it was some of the finest sipping whisky I had ever drank.
He passed some years ago, a truly sad event as none of his kin continued this craft.
