People drink in Antarctica (oh, and everywhere else)

Totally envy your work in Antarctica! That's one of the few things left on my bucket list :)
I'm finishing up my PhD in an interdisciplinary program that's basically anthropology of technology - I've been out of the space field for about 8 years, and just got dragged back in. Looks like I'm headed for a postdoc in anthro/policy of space exploration - hoping it comes through!
