I can't recall exactly what he blew but it was something just barely over the limit. As a result of having his child in the car what would have been a moderate slap on the wrist turned into a gross misdemeanor and cost him jail time, thousands and thousands of dollars in fines and legal fees and almost cost him his career. Parents should think about THAT the next time they consider having a drink or two while waiting for a table.
I appreciate your feelings. But that sidebar has nothing at all to do with the original topic. I doubt anyone here would defend drunk parents driving around at all, much less with kids in the car.

I don't mean buying them a keg and letting them party, but giving them a half glass of wine at home and talking to them about it. It's highly controversial (maybe illegal) and my first reaction was "no way," but I am thinking that it could be OK if done thoughtfully and controlled. I know it's common in other countries. Here's an article on the subject - http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/YouthI ... 04048.html.

When I went up to Madison for The Great Taste of the Midwest beer fest, there was an option to buy a full-priced drinking pass for minors, but the parent had to hand the tasting glass to the servers and then hand it to the child themselves. I didnt see anyone doing this though.
