This article really gave me a tickle


France's riot police have complained about being "treated like children" following a new ban on drinking alcohol while on duty.



following photos of riot police drinking bottles of beer during Paris street protest, police chiefs have decided to put an end to the tradition.



They were wearing body armour and carrying weapons as they sipped from beer and wine bottles. Some were also smoking.


The Telegraph

Only the French...
No disrespect meant!

I don't know what is more ridiculous the fact that up till present French riot police have been allowed to drink on duty or the fact that they want to go on strike because they have now been banned from drinking!

Booze chills them out? I thought booze tends to make people prone to violent episodes. Surely, we don't want violent cops on duty.

Lol they calm you down but not as much as weed. A cigarette has never made me re-analyze a situation and think "Why did I even do that?" or "this was wrong because of this, this and this". Although Cannabis has.

Weed will make the hungry and become too introspective . . . even apathetic.
