You have to love going to the Chronicle's website and seeing this fabulous headline: "Study says parents shouldn't drink with their teens." Really? Dang it, there's go most of Ken's golden years…

I'll have you know I only drink with other people's teens — specifically, their 16-19 year old daughters.

My folks drank with me when I was 14, got me horribly wasted, and made sure my hangover was just awful the next day. Funny thing, I didn't drink much as a teen or young adult, and I don't drink much anymore.

My father got drunk every day and passed out on the couch. Funny thing, I don't drink at all. Guess I'm going to have to start to save my kids from a life of binge-drinking.

It's still cool to drink with my ten year old, right?

Hmm…that's a really surprising result. I wonder what they controlled for…
