Moms Drinking, Driving and the Three-Martini Playdate

Why are more women getting DUI's? Are they drinking more now than before because of stress and too much responsibility? (Working moms still should most of the domestic responsiblity and child rearing in most homes.) Is it okay to drink in front of your kids? Has the alcohol-playdate phenomena come and gone (or was it ever there?) When does drinking cross the line from adults being social and a stress relief to alcohol addiction and harm to families. Clearly, when moms get in their cars drunk with kids, it becomes criminal. Jamie Edgar, J.Edgar Law Offices, former deputy prosecutor and current criminal defense attorny joins us in studio to discuss. Also, Author Christie Mellor joins us. Christie Mellor’s books include: • The Three-Martini Playdate: A Practical Guide to Happy Parenting • The Three-Martini Family Vacation: A Field Guide to Intrepid Parenting • Were You Raised by Wolves?: Clues to the Mysteries of Adulthood • We Were Here First, Kid: A Practical Guide to Happy Parenting
