You don't have to put on the red light

By get shot sixteen times, OP means that Roxanne came on, so he and the burglar immediately proceeded to get WRECKED playing the Roxanne drinking game. Sixteen shots didn't even get him through the first chorus.
For those who don't know:
How to play the Roxanne drinking game All you need to play is a sound system of some sort, and the song ‘Roxanne’ by The Police. Next, you split everybody up into 2 teams (usually boys on one team, girls on the other). The girls drink when they hear the word ‘Roxanne’, and the boys drink when they hear ‘put on a red light’. Doesn’t sound like much of a drinking game, right? Wrong! It’s unbelievable how many times The Police repeat these lyrics in the song and so this game can be a good laugh if played occasionally.
- There's drinking at a good tempo and then there's this.
  
  You mean an even better tempo?
  I kid. I kid!
- That’s so much alcohol, the local atmosphere would turn highly flammable.
- Sounds like a fun game! Depending on tolerance, maybe beer instead of shots...
  Reminds me of the game thunderstruck. Get everyone in a circle with a few drinks on hand. Start the song "thunderstruck" by AC/DC. First person starts chugging and on every time they say "thunderstruck", that person stops chugging and the next in line starts. Very fun but uneven. Once the into starts, one person is chugging for a bit.
  
  A more sustainable, but way more difficult than it seems game is power hour. There should be multiple versions of it on YouTube. At least there were circa 2010.
  It plays a song for a minute, then changes to another song for a minute, then another and so on over sixty minutes.
  Every time the song changes, you take a shot of beer.
  When I was in college about three hundred years ago, it was called the century club and went for one hundred minutes, but since we didn't have YouTube back then, it was just watching the clock. Amazing how fast that God damned second game can move.
  
  Back 15 years ago that was Wednesday night at DaveQuests. If you completed it, he took a Polaroid, put it on the wall. I think there were 60, 70 people, of all shapes and sizes. I knew girls who barely broke 100 who made it through 60m, and guys who were pushing 300 who puked on 60 and so we put an asterisk next to their name.
  It got stupid, as things tend to, when hubris came into play, and we thought "why don't we just keep going?" And so every minute, homer Simpson would chime in to remind us, and we just kept it going through the centennial (which is where I tapped out, personally) and then to the double power hour. There were six of us to make centennial, and three made double, and every single one of us would proceed to vomit and black out entirely. So dumb, but you're in your early 20s, people living in a house with five other early 20s, so it was the time and place I guess.
  
  Yeah, we tried that one. I didn't think anyone's stomach volume is large enough for that amount. None of us could get past the 45 minute mark.
- Pro Version of this game:
  Listen to "Hot dog" by Limp Bizkit and take a shot for every "fuck" you hear.
