liquid courage, liquid medicine...

in a bonding moment, they're all the same.

or so an 8-year old boy said, after a failed experiment testing his driving prowess. the boy's father, bradenton's mark belanger, allowed him to drive after taking "liquid medicine" in the form of whiskey, in hopes of calming down his wooziness. it's worth mentioning that the wooziness was brought on by the xanax he took for his panic attacks. however, he allowed the boy to drive in hopes of creating a "bonding moment" in his (likely slurred) words.

in any case, this could have gone better. in his inaugural driving experience, the son hit two trees, as well as nearly hitting two pedestrians, in a parking lot.

at the end of the day, belanger is in jail with over $10,000 needed to post bail, on charges of child abuse and permitting an unlicensed driver to drive.

so hooray for quality father son time leading to hard time, and HOORAY FLORIDA!
