Something I’ve Noticed

I like watching body cam videos. I don’t know why or what about it that fascinates me. Maybe there’s a secret true crime fan inside of me that I’ve never embraced. But I especially like the ones where drunk drivers get their selfish asses hauled off to jail for the night. Because there’s nothing worse than idiots who decide to that they can put everyone’s lives on the line because they decided to have too much to drink.

But having watched a number of these videos, an underlying theme that I’ve seen is that all the drunks when asked how much they’ve had to drink they always respond two beers or two drinks.

I don’t drink so I can’t speak on the matter but is it decided amongst drinking folk that that’s the agreed upon amount to tell the cops? Is there a cultural reason to do so? I wouldn’t be so intrigued if it wasn’t so consistent. They always just say two. Maybe someone in their high school told them that that was the get out of jail free card for stops like this and they all went with it.

Anyway, whoever decides to drink and drive, they deserve to have the book thrown at them.
