Never Drink Cheap Vodka
Isla Vista, CA
Sunday, Nov. 26, 12:01 a.m. - An officer responded to a call for service on the 6600 block of Trigo Road after receiving a report that a 19-year-old man had broken into his girlfriend’s house.
The subject, who had just been pushed out of the residence by people inside, was attempting to climb up onto the balcony when the deputy made contact with him.
The officer immediately noticed that the discombobulated delinquent was extremely intoxicated.
During questioning, the man could not tell the officer where he lived, because he had “drank three bottles of Gatorade mixed with vodka.â€
The subject repeatedly tried to tell officers something, but could not manage to put together a coherent sentence. As the man’s growing frustration got the better of him, he began to cry.
Officers then arrested the man for public intoxication. While deputies transported him to jail, the man became very emotional and again started to cry.
The subject confessed that his girlfriend had just broken up with him, and he had only wanted to give her a birthday card. The man admitted that he had made a mistake by drinking too much “cheap†vodka and apologized to officers for getting plastered.
The man was booked at the Santa Barbara County Jail, where he was housed, pending sobriety.

I doubt the quality of the vodka had much to do with his condition. Unless the low quality and his limited budget were the deciding factors in how much he could get, and therefore drink.

Did the officers accept his apology?

I’m sure the Vodka was top shelf. Probably just a batch of bad gatorade.
Actually though, I feel sorry for the guy. Who among us at 19 years of age hasn’t found ourselves in a similar situation? With me it was a very animated conversation with a beagle, but I won’t go into that.

Vodka, the reason i cant remember one bit of the summer before my senior year in high school. Damn i want to remember that summer, and there is a video floating around of a few nights but no one knows who has it.

Ritch, did the conversation go like this “Awrff, Awrff, Awrff, Awhllawrff” ?
If so, you probably deserved to be arrested. No dog, even a beagle, likes to be insulted.

I think this guy would make one heck of a postal delivery person.. Just look at what he will go through to deliver a birthday card…

Actually no, Berlin, but what I do recall…what little I recall…is a somewhat more cerebral discussion and a very concerned expression on the beagle’s face. And things didn’t improve much after that. To this day, many years later, I can’t abide straight tequila without some reaction. (By this time we had run out of Vodka on our little world tour of cheap liqours.)
