helchose: Just like the old timers used to do...

Rub the gums with whiskey to alleviate teething pain, not pour booze down their throat to shut them up. God damn it, I wish that we had a licensing process before people could procreate sometimes...

SoonerGrad: If, and only if, she had used the whiskey (or tequila in my home area) for the teething, I would see nothing wrong, and would hope that she isn't prosecuted for it.

But that's not the case.


My Mexican Grandma used to rub Tequila on my gums for teething pain, much to the horror of my Kansas, whitebread mother.

It's supposed to be a slight trace of alcohol (like the gum rubbing suggestion), not neat.

"Hey, this shuts up daddy, lets see if you like it to."

Back when we were more civilized, we'd give them paregoric, aka tincture of opium.

I don't suppose anyone here remembers those days except for me and maybe albo.

Adding whiskey to a bottle for crying babies is a traditional remedy handed down through generations of southern poor, who are largely descended from Britiish immigrants. I suspect it goes all the back to Britain. British Farkers: Have you heard of this "remedy?"

The proliferation of these stories leads me to announce that the end is nigh.

She obviously had to be rather inebriated to consider this a good idea. Could have just saved the extra whiskey shot for herself and breast fed.

No need for 'Sick' tag...break out the 'Hero' tag.

It does work. And it doesn't hurt the baby either.

We should be thankful the mother is a redneck.

If she was a neo-pagan the bottle would be filled with damiana and the police would never detect it.

Crying babies suck. Crying babies that seem to never stop crying suck even more. Still, no excuse. You signed up for that shiat when you got a deep dickin'.

.048? Really?

Did anyone else read that the first thing that Busch family babies drink is a thimble full of beer, well Budweiser anyway?

Uuuuhhhhh, what ? I can see it working to shut the kid up, but doesn't hurt the baby? I'm no doctor (but I play one on TV), but I think potential for alcohol poisoning might be kinda high for someone that weighs less than 20 pounds.

/whadda I know.

I don't know about whisky, but here in Britain Gripe Water used to be all the rage for mums. My sister used to drink it like water! Gripe water is 3-4% alchohol, so it's pretty alchoholic....
 
2007-10-25 07:59:30 AM
It doesn't say how the kid ended up in the hospital. Did the kid nod off and wouldn't wake up or something? Doesn't seem like .048 seems like much considering the kid's probably got a good tolerance built up by now.

You know, that T-shirt for babies that says "F--k milk, where's the whiskey tits?" was really meant more as a novelty item for rednecks rather than an actual, serious suggestion.

Yep. It's called being a grown-up. A parent.

If you can't handle it, give your kid to someone who can. There are plenty of childless couples just begging for a healthy infant.

Actually adding a little anything alcoholic was a treatment used for children for centuries.

My grandmother used to rub a little rum on my gums when I was teething... and apparently I turned out okay.
 
2007-10-25 08:06:24 AM
Sheesh...you have to start them slow. Mix a thimble full into the kid's bottle with juice and gradually increase the dosage.

Uh, the baby had a 0.04 bac. That's pretty high. Also, alcohol does have negative effects on brain development in adolescents, I imagine that it is much worse for a drunk FOUR MONTH OLD. The influence of alcohol on brain development (ie fetal alcohol syndrome) is why moms shouldn't drink when they are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can't be good for baby's liver either.

i hereby declare, with the minimal powers and temporary glory vested to me through Fark, that hence and hereafter, all news items pertaining to the adult behavior of supplying alcoholic beverages in any manner, form, or degree, to infants of one's own loin or another's, shall be described and understood as "skagging".

now please use it in a sentence.

At least at .048 the baby could still drive himself to the hospital.

Slothie: I don't know about whisky, but here in Britain Gripe Water used to be all the rage for mums. My sister used to drink it like water! Gripe water is 3-4% alchohol, so it's pretty alchoholic....

I always wondered what the hell 'gripe water' was supposed to be...

The mother just read the instructions wrong. Here is the age-old remedy for a teething, crying baby:

1: Pour a glass 1/2 full of whiskey.
2. Dip your little finger in the whiskey and rub it on the baby's gums.
3. Drink the rest of the whiskey.

Our eldest had colicoontil he was 3 months old; there were a lot of jokes about 'rocking the baby to sleep - now, where did I put that rock?'

Brilliant headline, subby! Can't believe I'm the first to say it!!
 
2007-10-25 08:13:30 AM
This article would be a lot more useful if it gave the mix. If the mixture was 50% alcohol, then the mother is an idiot. If she put a few drops of whiskey in the formula, THAT'S WHAT MY PEDIATRICIAN TOLD MY BROTHER TO DO WITH MY NEPHEW! And he turned out fine. Alcohol, like almost everything else this society demonizes, is not evil in and of itself. It's only bad in excess. Sadly, this society understands moderaton in alcohol about as well as it does in, say food.

dittybopper: Yep. It's called being a grown-up. A parent.

The truth is, good parent or no, when a person has not slept for a long period of time, they are not likely to make good decisions. heck, some people become delusional.

When you find yourself in that situation, the solution is to get a friend or loved one to keep the little bugger for a night, so as you can get some sleep.

Unfortunately, it is easier to see that solution when you have had some sleep!

not excusing the mom here, never made that kind of bad decision, but do remember sleepless weeks.
