      Dad? Is this you? He has said those exact words to me when he came to visit. Apparently it's a sin or something.

      Let’s be honest. It was probably REALLY shitty “bourbon.”

      My 18 month old is back to waking up sometimes several times a night and screaming & howling until I nurse him (which only reinforces the terrible cycle). So while I don't approve of what this slack jawed mouth breather did, I kind of feel her pain. . .

      Very different, but it was reportedly common to rub bourbon on a baby’s gums to help with teething. There are lots of stories about *much more* responsible use of alcohol to help with infants. Moms were encouraged to drink a beer to help with breastfeeding, babies were given thimblefuls of beer in South America to help with digestion, etc.

      Seeing as how this is Arkansas, I’m mostly shocked that “you’re” is used correctly.

      It was common enough back in the day.
      A little gin in the baby’s bottle to get them off to sleep. That sort of thing.

    This is one of those stories that make you realize that Nelson Muntz’s mother probably isn’t entirely made up.

    As bad as it is that she gave the kid bourbon at all, the fact that she gave him Motrin AND Tylenol AND bourbon is the part that makes me cringe. That’d be enough to knock out a fifth-year senior at Penn State, who is as hardened to partying as his own liver is hardened to alcohol.

      I know they released him from the hospital, but...christ. I’d be shocked if that didn’t do any damage.

      Um, that combination at once would skip the drunk part and go straight to liver failure.

      Yeah, I mean, LOTS of old-school grandmothers give advice to do something very similar to this. It’s a bad idea, but like most folk remedies, it can be a hard one to get rid of.

    Everyone know you can’t be giving a baby straight bourbon! Everyone knows babies prefer gin and juice.

    My mom would have definitely ended up in the hoosegow nowadays. whenever the kids were puckish or cranky she gave them rum babas. In the bottle - rum, warm milk, honey, vanilla. They drank until they were asleep. Also, when sick, in a shot glass, 1/2 cough syrup, 1/2 whisky.
    As an aside, the ennui family can definitely hold its drink.

      Holy shit that bottle cocktail. Babies can’t have honey or milk until a year and obviously the alcohol in both rum AND vanilla. I bet you guys all have stomachs of steel!
