A Drunk Driving Trifecta

Police in Timaru, New Zealand, pulled over a 15-year-old on State Highway 1 near Pareora and gave him a breathalyzer test. The unnamed driver registered three times the legal alcohol limit for teenage drivers. He was taken to the police station, where his mother was summoned to retrieve him.
She was subsequently stopped and arrested for drink-driving on Craigie Ave at about 2.14am, after blowing 776 mcg, nearly twice the adult limit of 400.

But it wasn't over there.

The woman then rang her partner to come and pick them both up. He was stopped and arrested on North St at about 3am, when he blew 559mcg.

Supposedly the family was reunited -in jail. Link -via Arbroath

Sad commentary on just how destructive alcoholism can be. Even if not out in public getting a DWI, they still can't be relied upon to come and help someone in an emergency because then they will be the ones in trouble. Pretty paralyzing.
