Can you say the alphabet backwards?

it just seems silly for a cop to ask someone that while giving them a feild subriety test. i honestly i cant do it on the spot. and im pretty sure that most cops couldn't. ive failed many feild subriety tests. sober. not under the influence of anything. didn't get into any trouble. just wasting my time.

In over 35 years as an officer I have NEVER asked someone to recite the alphabet backwards! Forwards ... yes...but not backwards!

Even I have to sit there and think about it...I must be dyslexic!

I can if I think about it.. I need to concentrate.
I know a cop who worked with the female officer in the vid.. he said she's a little.. different.

I can't say it backwards and I don't drink and never have been drunk in my life. I hope that if ever I had to undergo this test (which likely will not happen because I am unable to drink because of medications and don't like the taste of alcohol) that they would give me a breathalyzer test or blood test. More reliable.

I do know my ABC's from A to Z, but have a hard time doing it backwards from Z to A.

Not hard mate. When you think about it you can do it quite easily.
Try thinking about the last few letters of the alphabet and then reverse them. Then do the same with the next few...

The idea is if you attempt to do it, you're probably drunk. If you say "no, I can't do that" you're probably sober.

I did this on one foot and they let me go.

Are you asking this because you've ever seen this "sobriety test" done in real life?

or did you just hear that it was done and didn't bother to think that it isn't actually done?



I cannot, nor can most people (wow...I just said "nor")
but even if that was a "test" the test wouldn't be whether or not you can say the alphabet backwards, it will be how you handle the task(s) you are given

They ask you that?? I can remember Z, Y, X and that's as far as it goes.
