Case Study Case 1 bartender, I'll only have water
Background:
Police in the suburban Virginia county started arresting customers who appear drunk in a bar or restaurant. People are getting scared to patronize bars and restaurants lest they would be arrested.
1. Read the supporting article and provide detailed answers to the case questions below.
Drinking alcohol in bars has become risky business in Fairfax County1 — especially for those who totter2 or slur their speech3. Police in the suburban Virginia county have taken to arresting3"3 people who appear drunk in a bar or restaurant. Over the Christmas holidays4, police raided twenty bars in the towns of Herndon and Reston, and arrested nine people for intoxication5.
Under Virginia law, a bar or restaurant qualifies as a public place6 and officers can arrest people for merely seeming drunk — without even confirming with a breathalyzer7 test. Bar owners complain that the raids are keeping customers away8, and note that the people arrested were not driving9. In a nod to the public outcry10, Virginia's Alcohol Beverage Control Agency reminded agents to get approval for big undercover raids11 [6].
Notes
country – адм.-террит. Единица: графство, ( в Англии) или округ ( в США)
totter – идут неверной, шаткой походкой
slur their speech – говорят заплетающимся языком, досл. – произносят слова невнятно ( будучи в подпитии), 3-а. have taken to arresting – стали арестовывать ( to take to doing smth=start doing smth)
over the Christmas holidays – в период Рождественских праздников
intoxication – опьянение, интоксикация
a bar of restaurant qualifies as a public place - бар или ресторан считается общественным местом. Возможен перевод и в пассивном залоге без изменения смысла: « бар или ресторан квалифицируется [считается, рассматривается..] как общественное место».
breathalyzer - аппарат для получения пробы на содержание алкоголя в крови ( у водителя). Ср. русск. «трубка гаишника»;
are keeping customers away - отпугивают клиентов, досл. держат клиентов на отдалении
were not driving – не были за рулем, досл. не вели машину
in a nod to the public outcry – уступая бурным протестам общественности
undercover raids – внезапные, без предупреждения проверки (с целью застать врасплох, «застукать») [6]
Case questions:
1.Why has drinking alcohol in Fairfax County bars become risky business?
2.Why do bar or restaurant customers all over the world sometimes totter or slur their speech?
3. What sort of people have police taken to arresting?
4. What did police of Virginia county arrest nine people for?
5. How many bars did police raid in the towns of Herndon and Reston?
6. What do bar owners complain about?
7. Were those arrested driving cars?
8. What agency reminded agents to get approval for big undercover raids? Why?
Role-play:
Pretend you are a bar owner in Nizhny Novgorod. Earlier this month, militia have already raided your bar twice and arrested five customers who seemed to be drunk. Your bar is going to be underpa-tronized, and therefore it won't be able to operate at a profit. What measures would you take to improve the situation?
While making your decision consider the following issues:
• militia have taken to arresting people merely seeming drunk only recently;
• potential customers would be scared of such big undercover raids;
• drinking alcohol is a centuries-old tradition in Russia;
• it is fairly natural that bar customers are not quite sober;
• the customers arrested were not driving;
• installing soft drink machines;
• to complain about militia's raids.
