When people are Drunk and they make irresponsible decisions are they aware of the fact, are they totally convinced that what they are doing is okay, or are they just being "funny?"
Can they really tell that they are drunk or do they thing they are sober?
Do they have a drinking problem if they put the lives of their children at risk?

Sure this is bad news ...but when a parent drives under the influence with their children in the car, it seems ten times worse! The parent is responsible for caring for their children not putting them in danger!
I understand that they can not make wise decisions when they are drunk, but parents should think about their children before they drink. If they are going to drink they should designate a driver, or if both parents are drunk then they should call for a taxi.
In fact I would encourage that parents lay off the wine, beer, whiskey, whatever they are drinking! Because setting a good example for your children should be your priority, not having drunken fun.
