LW, the page I cited is for the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation area - it says Alcohol is prohibited pretty much everywhere in the area - it goes on to name the developed campgrounds.
Edited to add a link to the page I used to get to the alcohol policy. See link on lower right side of page: https://cms.akr.nps.gov/DEWA/planyourvisit/hike-backpack-appalachian.htm

use an alcohol stove and carry either everclear or 151 rum for "stove fuel".

whatever. nobody leaves DWG with cases of beer and stops in the park to party. you're barely in DWG nat. rec. area
Hmm, my question wasn't about DWG but about the corridor lands around Duncannon... I already tried looking on ATC and NPS sites without finding the specific answer but maybe I didn't get to the correct page.

I have been up in Worthington state forest (alone side of DWG) twice the past few months. The first time we went up we did not see anyone the entire hike and there was noone at the camp site all night. You could of been as loud as you wanted to. The second time I went up we seen a few peoplpe during the day, camped off trail and didnt see anyone that time either. From my experiences, theres noone to bother you. Unless you plan to camp close to a ranger station that you might have some trouble, Im sure they wouldnt bust your chops anyway if you were just relaxing while having a few shots of something :) Like posted above, if you arent out of control I couldnt image you getting bothered by someone. Pack your bottles out! :)

Like Lone Wolf says. No one will bother you if you are not in a publically vissable place nor causing a problem. Who is going to see you anyway?
