I once attended a funeral for 4 RCMP officers killed in the line of duty in Edmonton. Just about every large Police department in the US and every US fed LEO agency sent representatives.
After the services they invited all us US LEOs to to their provincial headquarters. They had three bars in the building, one for the rank and file, one for the sergeants and another for senior management.
We drank to our hears content in all three bars and never could buy a drink. We decided to bale at about 3 am and the provincial cops gave us a marked unit running with emergency lights to escort us to our hotel.
I thought these Canadians are very enlightened.
The US is weird about alcohol compared to most non-Muslim countries, partly because Baptists and Methodists are against drinking. We had Prohibition, and still have dry counties. In the UK and Ireland, 12-years-olds can drink in pubs.
