OKINAWA, Japan — Life is not over for you service members in Japan who aren’t allowed to consume alcohol right now! On its Facebook page, Marine Corps Community Services compiled a list of the five best ways to stay entertained without booze:

1. Curl up on the couch with a good book! War and Peace will get you through the ban, or for a quick read, try Ghost Fleet.

2. Start a family game night! Chutes and Ladders and Monopoly are classics. Not into board games? Try video games!

3. The holidays are approaching, so decorate Christmas cookies and hand them out to your friends in the barracks.

4. Make hot cocoa and smores in the microwave, then get together with friends and tell campfire stories.

5. Call your mom! She can fill you in on all the news from the States and cheer you up if the ban is getting you down.

Fortunately, there were plenty more ideas added in the comments below.
