Drunk Toddlers

Here's a good way to ensure you never work with children again: get them drunk. That's the approach that a 37-year old New York man took when he was left alone with a 2- and a 3-year old. Authorities found him passed out and learned that the 2-year old was stumbling around with a .094 blood alcohol level. In New York, a .08 is considered drunk, so this toddler was basically wasted. Even better, the parents of these two youngsters were at the hospital giving birth. Hopefully this will be a lesson to choose their babysitters more carefully. Or to get thicker shades. I find it more than a little creepy that authorities discovered this problem by peeking into the windows of the house. They may have been investigating a court case, but that's still a little bit too big brother-y for my taste. Get a search warrant, please. Then you can feel free to legitimately do breathilizers on toddlers without invading anyone's privacy.
