Well, now that was a much [un]needed study.

Geez. Really?

Parents need to realize that they can be impaired when they drink, Pitetti said.

Shock and awe.

I better tell karen to make sure she keeps the kid inside untill after the new year then, apparently hes safer in his swimming pool :lol:

if any drinking occurs in my house, one of us is the designated "Aw, shit: she's up AGAIN" parent who refrains from imbibing.

[Amorok]

Yep, I've been the Designated Parent for the night. So much harder than driving.

too bad that has basically nothing to do with SIDS. SIDS can happen in mother's arms or in a doctors office. They know next to shit about it, and the study just shows a correlation with a rise in child deaths. If an infant dies in a car crash or getting smothered by a drunk parent rolling over in bed, that is accidental death, and NOT SIDS.
