A Central Park carriage horse driver was busted with a boozy lunch, according to the NY Post. 49-year-old Saverio Colarusso was spotted drinking a Michelob Light on the job by Special Agent Joseph Pentangelo of the ASPCA back in January, and the organization said yesterday that he's been suspended for 30 days and was fined $175. He claimed he had two beers with his meal that day, and handed the agent the empty bottles. Yep, while back in the day drunken sleigh rides through Central Park may have been all rage, these days it's definitely going to be frowned upon.
