Still Waters Posted October 11, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2012 A restaurant has apologised after a toddler was served whisky instead of fruit juice at his birthday party. Sonny Rees drank the 40% proof whisky at his second birthday in a Frankie and Benny's restaurant in Swansea. His mother Nina Rees only realised the mistake after he had nearly finished the drink. Sonny, from Pontarddulais in Swansea, was taken to accident and emergency where he was kept under observation by doctors. The toddler is now recovering at home. The restaurant is investigating how the incident happened. http://www.bbc.co.uk...-wales-19906942 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasina Posted October 11, 2012 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Bluh! I hate whiskey! My drink of choice is vodka. That kid's a natural drinker. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taun Posted October 11, 2012 #7 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Absolutely disgusting!... No toddler should ever be given whiskey! They are much too young to appreciate it... A decent lager should be more than sufficient until they are at least 7 years old.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be furious with anyone who dared to give my kids alcohol at the age of seven..I would fear giving anyone's kid alcohol, in case it made them ill ..

spud the mackem Posted October 11, 2012 #10 Share Posted October 11, 2012 You are 100% correct Beck's Mom, I would never give anyone under 18 alcohol,but when a mistake is made,like this was,you can only hope that the infant is O.K. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted October 11, 2012 #11 Share Posted October 11, 2012 My mother in law used to put whiskey in Garys bottle, mixed in with the milk to help him sleep ....He prefers it now without the milk My parents took us out to dinner every Thursday night from the time I can remember. It was during Happy Hour and when they brought the four drinks to the table they always shared with my sister and I. My drink of choice was a Singapore Sling at the age of about four. They had a nice quiet evening after we went to bed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted October 11, 2012 #13 Share Posted October 11, 2012 What is a Singapore Sling? It tastes like lemonade but it has gin in it. My drink nowdays is vodka. Ooh, that sounds good...I've got a bunch of lemons for fresh lemonade, add a little vodka and I'll be a happy camper. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely Guy Posted October 12, 2012 #15 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Oh okay, the title confused me. I thought that the toddler 'served the whisky' not 'was served the whisky'. Big difference. As an aside, I had a 10 year old girl serve me a Guinness in Ireland once. I thought that kind of thing was normal over there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope you understood that to be a bit tongue in cheek... I would probably go totally ballistic on someone who did that to one of mine as well... That being said...My grandfather used to rub Guinness on my gums when I was teething... I was a happy mellow child....

Bling Posted October 12, 2012 #22 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm surprised the kid even drank that much, whisky is an aquired taste, especially at that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
