SCHERERVILLE, Ind. – Indiana state police said that after a mother was arrested for drunken driving, the three relatives who came to pick up her 1-year-old son also had all been drinking. A state trooper stopped a minivan for speeding early Saturday on U.S. 30 in Schererville in northwestern Indiana. He arrested the 24-year-old woman on a drunken driving charges.
The boy's father arrived later to pick him up, but officers determined he was intoxicated and also arrested him on a drunken driving charge.
Police said the boy's grandparents then arrived. Both of them also had been drinking, state police said, but the grandmother who was driving was not over the legal limit, so officers escorted them home with the child.
I found this rather sad. The entire family was driving drunk at one point or another and no one was available to care for the one-year-old? That's just ridiculous.

I think my novel Invisible Hand shows a much better way to deal with alcohol. Of course it solves lots of other problems, too, but if you can tolerate that...
Why hasn't this been fixed?! :(
