Also do this for our young adult kids. It is almost never necessary but our practice is zero alcohol if you are driving so it happens on occasion.

I actually don't mind him having a weak light beer maybe two max while socializing for an hour after a golf round. He NEVER drinks while actually golfing. One of his friends just sold his company and ordered a couple of shots of whiskey while they were socializing after playing. They hit him while en route home. Thing is at country clubs, they will often make shots heavy, so those two shots of bourbon were possibly closer to four. He was thoroughly sloshed when he walked in the door.

Four shots of whiskey are not going to make a kid sloppy drunk, much less a full grown male.

It's not a big deal OP unless he was speeding along on a freeway. You said yourself it's a rare incident.

So you’re good with someone driving drunk as long as it’s on neighborhood streets? During the day. When kids are put and about?

Why are children in the street? Why aren’t you supervising them?

Why do you think they are in the street? How drunk are you?

I have no idea why children would be in the street; mine never are unless they are crossing securely holding my hand. If you let your kids play in the street, well…

But he didn’t.

Not my business. Their body, their choice. Is it smart? No.

But I wouldn't ruin a marriage over something as trivial as this. Most people trying to say it should ruin a marriage have an obvious agenda.

Except.that they could kill someone for which you'd be joint and severally liable and lose your life savings

LMAO, you'd hate living anywhere south of the border, or even in the USA pre-2010s. Everyone had liquid lunches at work or the local pub or restaurant.

Puritanical religious-fueled prohibitionists are still around in this day and age.
