Party While You're Alive, Sleep When Your Dea ... Oops

Down in Florida, fathers teach their kids more than just how to throw a ball, how to catch a fish, or how to build a crummy corner shelf for the garage. They like to teach their youngin's how to party!

A Gulf Coast man was charged with murder after he said he gave his 15-year-old son powerful prescription drugs because he wanted the boy to know "how to party right."

Steven Alfano was charged with third-degree murder after son Vincent died of an accidental overdose in June.

Witnesses said the 47-year-old Spring Hill man showed his son how to crush and snort pills like the painkiller oxycodone and the heroin substitute methadone.

When my kid turns 15, I expect we'll have a similar lesson in "how to party." It'll go something like this: "Son, first you put you put your left foot in, then you put your left foot out, and if you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can shake that bad boy all about. Here, have some soda!"
