    Dad decides he's had too much to drink, so he lets his 13 year old drive.

    Problem is the 13 year old had been drinking as well, and he scored a DUI.

    At least they were spending some quality time with each other.

    What about charges for allegedly providing alcohol to a minor?

    This guy's a piece of work.

    Guess we'll have to wait for another thread to make the "Crap on the South" thread of the day.

    Yeah, 'cause in the South, the young-uns know how to handle their liquor.

    Plus, you generally don't have to drive back from the still.

    I'm sorry. I'm not seeing a problem here.

    A boy and his father are having an idyllic day at the park bonding and are simply trying to go home when some NAZI cops get all Gestapo on them and then the drive-by press has a field day with rumors and accusations.

    Too bad there wasn't an 8-year-old designated driver to avoid all this unpleasantness.

    Power-hungry cops. Who are they to tell a father and son what they can and can't do?

    Honest, non-sarcastic question here: Did you read the link?

    The father was too drunk to drive. That's strike one. He asks his son, a 13-year-old kid who's too young to drive in every jurisdiction in the country to drive. That's strike two. The KID is too drunk to drive. That's strike three, yer out. The kid gets busted for DUI. That's a 6-4-3 double play, end of game. You lose at life.
