TAIPEI (Taiwan News)—A Taiwanese man had never thought of the big price he would have to pay for drinking beer, until he was stopped by police after drinking three beers, according to a news release posted by Taisi Precinct on Yulin County Police Bureau’s website in October.
The 42-year-old man surnamed Yang had a drinking habit, and he would drink a beer to wake him up before going to work and drink a few more during dinner after work to relax, Taisi Precinct said.
Around 11 p.m. on Oct. 8, Yang went out to buy beer, but he was flagged down by police because he wasn’t wearing a helmet, the precinct said. As Lunfeng Police Station chief Lin Chien-lung (林建隆) and officer Lin Kuan-yu (林冠余) approached him, they could smell alcohol emitting from Yang’s body. The policemen then asked him, “You smell of strong alcohol. How many bottles and what alcohol did you drink?” To which, Yang replied, “Only three beers.”
The police asked him to provide a breath test, the result of which was 0.98mg/l.
