West Yorkshire Police plan on finding the time to tweet all the alcohol-related incidents over a 12 hour period - clearly they're at a loose end.
However, they've reported the number of arrests for drunk and disorderly:
"In the twelve months leading to August 2013 there have been a total of 3071 arrests for those who are drunk and disorderly."
Which is eight a day. Across West Yorkshire's two million or so population that's hardly an epidemic of drunks.
The campaign - called 'In Focus' (compelte with its own hashtag, #infocus) is part of ACPO's 'let's go on about drinking rather than address the real problems facing police forces in England' campaign.
All a little sad really.
