"...invited the sergeant to take a glass of brandy. But Mr. Pumblechook said sharply, 'Give him wine, mum. I'll engage there's no tar in that!'..." (31) Why does it matter whether or not the sergeant has tar in his drink or not? Also, why does Mrs. Joe give all the soldiers beer? They are on duty are they not?

Well you wouldn't want to give anyone tar to drink right? That wouldn't be very polite. Also I don't think the fact that the soldiers were on duty made them exempt from drinking, and if it did I don't think they cared very much. They didn't seem to take their jobs too seriously.
