HE ALREADY HAS A FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE
Authorities in southwest Florida say an intoxicated man had his 9-year-old son take him on a beer run.
Key Parental Explanation: When officers stopped the truck, the man told them he was teaching his son to drive.

Dave. I was lead to believe you made your own beer.

"Okay son, you put one hand at ten, the other one on beer."

Hey. At least he was responsible enough to NOT drive.

Since he was the only licensed driver in the car he should have been charged with drunk driving, too!

Why don't liquor stores deliver? There's a huge market for that.

You mean it's wrong to do that?!

Some do, Annie. I'm about to make a delivery for the neighborhood store to make a little extra coin right now, in fact. (Then I start at FedEx tomorrow -- yay employment!)

Congrats, WD! I've heard lots of good things about FedEx. I'm just surprised liquor delivery isn't more common.

He probably didn't return reporters calls because the mother was beating the stuffing out of him for not only getting drunk again but letting the kid drive.
