[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

OP, Just so it's not forgotten:  you're worried about your kids when their drunk dad comes home.  I worry about my children when your drunk husband is on the road and my husband is driving home from the airport after a business trip.  Both your kids and my kids could end up without a father.  I'm just pointing out that the problem extends beyond your family.  [/quote]

blah blah blah yakity yack yack yack.

Tell us something we don't all already know.  I'm sure the OP is aware of this, she was not asking about the known dangers of DD. But you would know that if you read her follow up posts....[/quote]
