    Don’t you dare give wine to a baby. Next time hire a baby sitter or pay Holly and Alix to babysit and go out for dinner at a nice restaurant.

    Mix it in with some breast milk, and the baby will be good to go. It’s like a reverse 5 hour energy shot for kids! ;o)

    Bob you are so funny/wrong. You know you can’t give any child anytype of alcolhol. Although a very long time ago I seen a mom give their small child a sip of beer. The whole family drinks. This was 40 years ago.

    It’s all right Bob, we don’t hate you! :y

    Guys, what about rubbing whisky on a baby’s gums when it’s teething, I’d bet that remedy is still being used.

    I think rubbing whiskey anywhere should be illegal. What a waste! :D

    “you can’t give any child anytype of alcolhol. ”

    Okay, so no liquid cold or cough medicines for any of your kids! I know, now they make children’s versions, but Nyquil and the like are around 20% alcohol. And alcohol has been recognized for its medicinal purposes since ancient times.

    LOL. Reminds me of when my folks brought us to our grandparents and there was an party for the adults that evening. Big family gathering. We little kids and our cousins were put to bed but kept sneaking down to steal snacks and watch the fun. Grandma was as smart and shrewd as she was lovable and generous. She asked all us kids into the kitchen for some milk and cookies “if you promise to go straight to bed and stay there”. Naturally we said yes and after we finished, we went back upstairs with the intention of more mischief. Grandma and the Mons tucked us in again, but unknown to us “Da Old Lady slipped us a Mickey”. It was about a teaspoon of wine in a 10 oz glass of milk. We were dead to the world until mid morning. I got the story from my Mom when I reached adulthood. I always loved Grandma and now you know why.
