Call father to get son and he gets DUI for coming drunk.

I usually have a hard time coming when I'm drunk.

Alcoholism and stupidity are two different issues.

Both are heritable though.

Once when I got jailed for a DUI, my mother refused to come bail me out, so my uncle came and got me. He was pretty drunk......

Didn't get arrested though.

Young drunks have old drunks in their family to drive them, and old drunks have older drunks, and so ad infinitum.

Jesus...what a fail of a family. Someone in the family needs a ride, but everyone in the family is drunk.

If that kid cries a lot, I have a great way to get him to quiet down and fall asleep.

Why didn't they just call the kid a cab?

 
JimmyCarter'sSecondTerm 2008-11-10 09:29:14 PM  
I had a cop call me to see if I could come pick up my friend's truck who got a DUI...

It was like 4 in the morning and I was asleep and drunker than shiat (I had been drinking with the dumbass that drove after killing a handle of Jack with me and one of my roommates). I accused the cop of being my friend just farking around, and then when I realized it was for serious I was just like I'm drunk and can't do it. My sober roommate ended up doing it and I was so drunk that I forgot the whole thing had happened the next morning when my rooommate got back from bailing that dumbshiat out of jail.

/ah, college

Was the one year old was drunk too?

 
Vangor [TotalFark] 2008-11-10 09:34:38 PM  
None of them thought to themselves, "There is an officer of the law there. They have just arrested a relative for driving while intoxicated. Perhaps it is best if I do not go, or I will probably be faced with this officer of the law and thus arrested for driving while intoxicated, too"?

That isn't alcoholism, that's raw stupidity.

Perhaps the father (also young?) was having a few beers watching sports with his friends and figured he'd be OK a few beers in.. forgetting that 3 beers in a hour = .08 BAC.

The grandma wasn't over the legal limit. The grandpa wasn't driving - so they had no reason to test his BAC.

Of course, I could be as wrong as you, my point is that this story lacks the details for your judgment.

Well, I was drunk the day my wife got outta prison;
And I went to pick her up in the rain;
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck;
I got a pulled over for a damned DUI again.

I had a sippy cup a a kid.
there was a picture of a monkey holding a sippy cup on it. And on the cup was a picture of a monkey holding a sippy cup on it. And on the cup was a picture of a monkey holding a sippy cup on it. And on the cup was a picture of a monkey holding a sippy cup on it. And on the cup and I was 3 when I got I was the butt end of a grown up joke.

If it weren't for the fact that my parents and grandparents are all dead, I'd wonder if this headline was about my family....

/both parents, both step-parents, all four grandparents alcoholics
//brother has gotten a DUI
///I drink, but *very* carefully
////mother died of alcoholic hepatitis - hard core

It's like this guy I knew who was arrested for rape. His father shows up and immediately rapes the desk sergeant. Then, they call the mother to come and bail the two of them out, but she rapes a parked car in the police station lot. By the time the grandparents called the dog it had made all of the papers.
