In a powerful answer to the binge drinking of UK parents and their children, Wausau, Wisconsin teens held a Root Beer Kegger. When neighbors saw flocks of teens with red plastic cups making lots of noise and partying they called the cops.
Police officers arrived and followed procedure. They breathalysed 90 teens before they realized there was not a drunk in the bunch since root beer was their drug of choice.
Neighbors defended their calls to the police by saying that, in fact, they don't hate alcohol. It's just human beings from 13-19 or really anybody who looks like they are having a good time.
When Wausau Police spokesperson, Sgt Wau Sau was asked why it took his officer 90 breath tests before he realized that no one was drunk, she explained: "In Wausau, Wisconsin you are drunk until proven sober. Our presumption of drunkenness requires us to breath test every person we encounter who is having a good time. Why else would people be laughing and enjoying themselves?"
