A beer?

I think that’s presumptuous, and even edges up on profiling.

Not all Boston-area cops are Irish — and not all of them drink beer. I think the beer comment is stereotypical of what some elitists think policemen drink during their off-hours.

Maybe Sgt. Crowley doesn’t drink alcohol — at all.

Why not a scotch, or just a drink, or even a glass on lemonade?

BTW, I have nothing against beer. Beer is food, after all.
