Stan, maybe you'll know this- what IS the law regarding being
intoxicated around a child? Obviously if you're on illegal drugs you
could get popped for that alone, but if you're home with the kids and
looped, BUT they're in no danger and nothing happens...is that enough
to get you charged with something? I'm asking seriously and without
sarcasm.

I agree that this isn't murder. Neglect leading to death, whatever the
official legal term for that is, but not murder.
