Video: Vancouver Police Want You To Get Wasted And Eat Free Pizza.

Mar 2, 2018

Source  –   Like to get your drink on early in the morning? Enjoy free pizza? Don’t mind doing a few one-leg stands? The Vancouver Police Department is looking for you.

The police force has put out the word that they are looking for volunteers to get drunk on the police dime, in order to train new recruits on how to conduct sobriety tests.

With a subject line reading “Volunteer Drinkers Needed,” the email says eight to 10 volunteers are needed to head down to a local police station early in the morning to get a little sloshed.

The volunteers will need to drink a few shots of hard liquor (“no beer or wine,” the email stresses), and then complete three sobriety tests:

  • a simple eye examination
  • a walk-and-turn test
  • a one-leg stand test

After a few hours of testing and a free pizza lunch, volunteers would then be driven home around 4 p.m.

All volunteer drinkers would have to sign a waiver promising not to drive for the rest of the day. And they would also have to agree to conduct themselves “in a respectful manner” in the police building.

The volunteers would be allowed to get their blood-alcohol concentration only to a certain level decided by instructors, so it won’t be a complete free-for-all boozefest.

And only those between the ages of 24 and 60 with no medical concerns need to apply. Anyone taking medications that can’t be mixed with alcohol is also out of the running.

Interested parties were asked to RSVP, including in their email the drink and mixer of their choice.The request is contained in an email recently sent to select members of the police department’s Block Watch neighborhood watch program.

What a time to be alive.  When the police are offering free booze and pizza you do it.

Question: Whats a “Few”?

To me, a couple is two and a few is four.  To some, a few are between 3-7 and that’s the factor at play here.  If I’m going to get into a room with people doing shots I’d like to know where that number lies.

And how many breathalyzers?  A couple or a few?  Several?  Is that 10ish?

BTW.  Good luck finding a 60-year-old with no health concerns.   Still, if you live in the Vancouver area, look into this.  Could be the safest rager you ever go to.
