She was surely drunk but not so drunk as to make sure her beer was safe and sound. Sickening.

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL -- Investigators say a woman accused of drunk driving had a case of beer buckled up safely, and a one year old girl sitting in the backseat without a seatbelt or car seat. On Super Bowl Sunday, a deputy saw a car drive through a red light and swerve back and forth over the center lane on U.S. 1 South. The deputy stopped the car. Investigators say the woman, who identified herself as Tina Williams, smelled of alcohol. According to the report, Williams told the deputy she never had a license and was running out of gas. The deputy saw a case of Busch beer in the front seat with a seat belt around it, and a baby girl in the backseat with her mother. When asked why the girl wasn't restrained, Williams reportedly told the officer, "I don't know." |

I clicked on this because I had just read about it, or so I thought! Actually, I am editing my post as I just realized that the post previous was about this article as well---I didn't realize that Alice Springs was in Australia. Sorry!

Driver buckles beer in car -- but not child DARWIN, Australia (AP) -- An Australian driver who secured a carton of beer in his car with a seat belt but left a 5-year-old child unrestrained was fined 750 Australian dollars ($710; €460), police said Tuesday. Constable Wayne Burnett said he was "shocked and appalled" when he pulled over the unregistered car on Friday in the central Australian town of Alice Springs. The 30-can carton was strapped in between the two adults sitting in the back seat of the car. The child was also in back, on the vehicle's floor. "The child was sitting in the lump in the center, unrestrained," Burnett told reporters Tuesday. "I haven't ever seen something like this before," he said. "This is the first time that the beer has taken priority over a child." |

I guess we all know what the priority in their life is booze. Like any addiction id can corrupt the best into doing things that they would never consider doing normally. Trust me I know what I speak of here.

I was thinking back to a time in my life when I was involved with those types of activities and I have to say, I don't think I ever drove, but I did some other really stupid things and your right, it takes away the ability (or maybe it rather prohibits it, I guess) to make logical decisions and to
It is not right for sure--and the kids are usually the ones that end up hurt (emotionally or physically) when addictions are present.

I laughed because I was uncomfortable with this and didn't know how else to act. Of course it's Florida, I am truly not surprised.
