[quote=Anonymous]OP here: thank you all for your perspective.  I think the overwhelming majority (unanimously) that the driving is unacceptable under any circumstances.  I hear a few people say its the norm in their group, but most say its not in the norm.  I have a hard time thinking its the norm unless you are very young w/ no kids and/or live in walking distance to a metro.  I imagine most people do not live in walking distance to a metro and of that group, how many work in a heavy drinking field and have small children?  Or...and this is a frighteningly real possibility: drinking and driving is much, much more common than we would like to think.  The point about legal liability and financial disaster does concern me greatly.  But I do have a problem with him being drunk and responsible for children.  I would not allow my nanny to drink on the job.  And there's the issue of our kids seeming him drunk so frequently that worries me, too.  I do believe he has a real problem with drinking if only b/c he has a prior DUI (over 10 years ago, but still) and therefore our children are more likely to have a problem, too...so there's reason to be cautious.  I don't want this thread to turn into a drinking parents vs nondrinking parent argument.  I really just wanted a reality check and a feel for what's the normal range.  Thanks.[/quote]
