This tragicomic tale contains several points in the "comic" column, but it begins with a 60-year-old woman driving on her vacay while dipping into an open box of wine.
The news article does not specify whether the woman was a mom, but she probably is because boxed wine is for moms to get loaded at home. This woman didn't keep her box of wine at home, though, she took it on her road trip vacation in Wisconsin (sorry, but we found that part amusing as well; it's not the first place you think of for a road trip).
The first arrest happened on March 11th, when the woman was spotted by a deputy trying to drive out of a ditch. She had only one shoe on and a blood-alcohol level of 0.21. She was arrested again a day later while attempting to get her car out of the snow in a closed campground. This was clearly a budget road trip for these rough times we're all facing. At that time, she estimated she'd had "four or six cups" of wine.
"I am still finishing up the box of wine in my car from yesterday," she told the officer.
After 12 hours in jail, she was free again, then arrested again when her car was spotted driving "all over the road," read the police report.
Apparently the box of wine had been polished off at that point and half a bottle of wine was found. This time, her blood alchol level was .16, and the woman now faces 30 days in jail and fines in excess of $3,000. So much for the low-budget vacation.
