I have known quite a few people that have lived there for the military and never became fluent. In the MTC (Mission Training Center) we get the languange drilled into our head for 8 hours a day, 6 days a week for between 6 to 9 weeks, depending on the language.
And as far as the drinking goes I am what most most people around the world refer to as "the mormons", The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the real name of our church. We are typically identified as the people that don't smoke or drink. We are also the ones that people believe we have 50 wives and have horns growing from our heads...
