Drunk Parents
Watching the old man swing home from the pub and start arguing with Newsnight can be either funny, slightly unnerving or just plain terrifying. Tell us about daft things parents have done while they've been in their cups.

Bloody Baptists
My folks are Baptist anddon't, can't, really drink. At all. So when my young dad was invited to a big knees up with his construction buddies at Christmas two years in a row, he got completely hammered on cheap Scotch. He weaved home and drunkenly greeted us at the front door with cries of "Preshents!"
First year it was steaks for dinner. (We never got steak-it was our lot to get burgers or dogs) Second year he took all 5 of us out to buy shoes. (we never got shoes all at the same time-he couldn't afford it)
Third year, my mom went and got him before the booze started flowing. Those frickin' carpenters & ironworkers were drinking my poor electrician dad into the poorhouse.
PS I love these stories.
