A mother has been caught drink-driving in a McDonald's drive-thru because she says she didn't feel like cooking for her kids.
Virginia Margaret Muir had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.106, which is more than double the legal limit, when police caught her on the night of December 17 and immediately suspended her licence.
She admitted driving to the fast-food store in Currimundi, south of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, with her teenage children after drinking alcohol - and said she did so because she didn't want to cook.
