It is ridiculous to ban city cops from drinking off duty

Take note: from this point on police bureau chiefs need to seek permission from their supervising officers before they drink, even when not on duty.

According to a recent report in Chengdu Daily, following a regulation announced by Anyang city police, police chiefs of counties and branches under the city's public security bureau must seek approvals from their supervising officers before they can go for a drink. All other officers in the force also need to seek permission from their chief before taking a sip.

No doubt, Anyang police had good intentions when it created the regulation because it shows the resolve of the police force to crack down on drinking problems. However, I doubt if it's legal or reasonable. It may also not be feasible.
