On of my kids' birthday as well. That's why I am so sure of the date. The fairest possible birthday for a kid - exactly 6 months from Christmas.

I have the same early urges; it's on the nights when I am driving home alone and realize that circumstances pretty much ensure that I will be the last one up that I am most tempted. I know I will be able to get away with it if I fill up the car where they know me and let me come in after to pay so I can add an item or two, run the charge as a debit transaction and our bank doesn't show the detailed receipt. I got really good at covering my tracks. Circumstances where I would have to drive after drinking don't tempt me. Situations with a higher than near zero risk of detection don't tempt me. I am not a saint; I fear consequences.
