And I remember their sheer misery

I still remember being driven back from swimming by a friend's mother - she was really drunk and her daughter had the task of controlling the steering wheel while she would apply the gas. We kids at the time thought it was a riot.

Looking back, wow, that's a parenting FAIL!
