It's better to have two squads - one near surface to face ambushers and defend caravans, and the second near living quarters and workshops etc - in case of emergency (forgotten beasts, thieves, kobolds). And soldiers DO drink from their flasks when aren't active (station or kill order). For example when they are doing ind. drill. Yeah, the best solution is to make barracks near surface. They will be always (70% of their time) in barracks. Also, try to set booze and food stockpiles in barracks too. And dining rooms. P.S. I do think, that it's stupid when professional soldiers disobey commands just because they got thirsty, hungry or sleepy. Real soldier should go to the end and not whining about little hunger. It's not like they are starving :-/
