Is it ok to drink and drive when you are on a 12 hour car drive with a 20 month old in the backseat?

I wish my Dad let me drink and drive when I was only 20 months old. I had to wait until I was three.

Will you adopt me?

When I was little we had one of those totally 70's vans with carpet and drapes... We used to take road trips and I remember my dad asking me to bring him up beers from the back cooler as he was driving, with little kids in the car and staying up for over 48 hours on end to get where we were going on time! Nice! Really nice!

Not more than a 12 pack. Thats only 1 an hour. I bet the baby could even handle that much.

Is this for real? NO! of course you shouldn't drink and drive. Even more reason being you have a long drive ahead of you and you need to concentrate plus you have a baby. Get real!

Yes but just make sure the 20 monthold child is in the car in front of you

I heart the fact that I can generally tune things out...

The voices in my head really help with that.

Drink massive amounts of coffee while chanting "Find a Happy Place"

Who the eff let the humorless and clueless people in here?

ummmmmmm no u idiot those babys are completely trusting you to keep them safe! if you need a breather pull over take a rest are maybe even get a room but NEVER drink and drive with a baby!

Not at all, just don't get caught. You will have to sell the kid into sex trade to pay for the DUI costs.

No. You should at least wait until the baby is two before you let them drive...

kaii - my father was hammered with me int he backseat...but somehow I still don't see that is good rationale.

Cops are humans too, and they sure as hell don't want to deal with that even if it's just to the police station.

So you have the ultimate mulligan for drunk driving.

Dang, I need to go make me a baby.

Any takers?
