Father of the Year Finalist Has Boy, 9, Drive Him on Beer Run

Too drunk to go buy more beer? No problem! Just have your kid do it! What' he's only 9? Hey, he's gotta learn to drive sometime, right? Now is as good a time as any and you're thirsty.

We assume that's the thought process of one Florida dad who is accused of making his young son drive the family pick-up to buy booze for good ol' dad. Here's more from CBS News:

Authorities in southwest Florida say an intoxicated man had his 9-year-old son take him on a beer run. Cape Coral police arrested the 27-year-old man last week, after seeing a pickup truck drive onto a median.

When officers stopped the truck, the man told them he was teaching his son to drive. Officers say the father's speech was slurred, his breath smelled of alcohol and he unable to stand without swaying. Police said an open case of Budweiser beer was in the backseat.

The man was charged with cruelty toward a child and allowing an unlicensed minor to drive.
