Tiffany Haddish, the celebrated comedian and star of Girls Trip, didn't let a recent run-in with the law dampen her sense of humour. Less than a day after her DUI arrest in Beverly Hills, she addressed the incident in her trademark comedic style during a performance at the Laugh Factory in Long Beach, Calif.

Amidst her routine, Haddish candidly shared, "I prayed to God to send me a man with a job, preferably in a uniform," in an audio obtained by TMZ. She cheekily added, "God answered my prayers."

However, the joke wasn't unsolicited. A curious fan from the audience asked her, "What happened last night?" prompting Haddish to retort, "I don’t know, you tell me."

The incident that spurred the jest occurred after Thanksgiving, where Haddish was found "asleep behind the wheel" in Beverly Hills, subsequent to her performance at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood.

Authorities responded to a call reporting a vehicle obstructing traffic lanes around 5:45 a.m., highlighting the unusual nature of her vehicle's positioning, causing traffic to navigate around it.

Fortunately, no traffic accidents were reported. Haddish, 43, was apprehended and booked at the Beverly Hills jail before being released later the same day. TMZ footage depicted her composedly cooperating with officers as she was escorted into their vehicle.

Despite the recent ordeal, Haddish appeared positive when spotted leaving the Laugh Factory in Long Beach, riding alongside producer Jeff Beacher. Dressed in an off-the-shoulder silk top, she sported a subtle grin as the vehicle departed, seemingly in good spirits.

While she offered humour onstage, Haddish has remained tight-lipped publicly about the arrest, with no official statement from her representatives in response to inquiries from Page Six.&nbsp;

Tiffany Haddish jokes about DUI at stand-up show a day after arrest

In a rather unconventional approach to combat drink-driving, Japanese police are now encouraging individuals to consume alcohol.&nbsp;

After consuming alcohol, drivers are made to navigate a driving course and see for themselves how well they can handle driving.

<h2>The inspiration behind this campaign</h2>

CNN reports that this initiative was devised by the Chikushino Police Department in Fukuoka, southwest Japan, as part of its awareness campaign against drink-driving.&nbsp;

Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/air-pollution-a-silent-threat-deadlier-than-smoking-and-alcohol-reveals-new-study-630309">Air pollution: A silent threat deadlier than smoking and alcohol, reveals new study</a>

The campaign was launched after a tragic incident in August 2006, where a drunk driver claimed the lives of three children on a local bridge. This latest edition of the campaign took place at the Chikushino Automobile School in Chikushino City on August 22 and had 10 participants, including a 77-year-old.&nbsp;

<h2>How it went</h2>

Drivers were first evaluated on their reflexes and driving skills while sober. They were then provided enough alcohol to exceed the legal limit and given a driving course to complete.

Talking to CNN, a police spokesperson revealed that each participant had a driving instructor with them throughout the exercise, even riding with them in their respective vehicles.

Conducted within the confines of the driving school premises, the "hands-on event" allowed "drivers to experience for themselves the difference between driving before and after drinking and to get a sense of how dangerous drink-driving can be," said the spokesperson.

<h2>The results</h2>

Many participants, as per the spokesperson, acknowledged that the experience highlighted how they had been "overconfident" about their ability to drive under the influence of alcohol. They also realised that they made more errors than they thought they would. A few participants also noticed that their ability to control the vehicle was affected.

The police spokesperson expressed hope that "that more drivers will realise how dangerous drunk driving is."

<h2>Japan and alcohol consumption</h2>

Japan maintains relatively low alcohol consumption levels, found a 2021 study from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).&nbsp;

The nation witnessed a further decline in its alcohol consumption during the pandemic due to restrictions affecting the bar and other alcohol-selling places.

Japanese people consume an average of 8 litres per capita alcohol annually, this is equivalent to about 1.6 bottles of wine or 3 litres of beer per week per person.
