Q: my kid got into alcohol today

asked by: Sammy001 on February 17th, 2008

We were over at a friends house earlier, and she was drinking strawberry daquri's, anyway she sat it down, and we weren't paying attention, Nathan was over just a chugging it back. F*$%$%
i hope he didn't consume too much of it. i am right paranoid now. It was at the very bottom of the glass with a tonnes of melted ice, so i hope it was good and diluted. i left shortly after that...(like 10 minutes later) and he feel asleep immediatly. He usually does in the vehicle, but he is still sleeping.

Should I wake him up?

I'm sure he'll be ok. Isn't he like 2 or 3?

If there was ice at the bottom, it was prob diluted.

Hell, Robitussin has more alcohol than what you described!!

Let us know how he does!

the bottom of the glass is usually where the alcohol settles. i would've called poison control to see what they suggested.

How long ago was this?

Call telehealth! They can tell you if he needs to be brought into the hospital.

he is going to be 3 in April. I don't think he drank too, too much. I woke him shortly after my first post, and he was fine, then he ate like a horse. A waffle, 3 fish sticks, apple sauce, and a cup of milk. (must have had the drunken munchies!) lol you know like the ones where you go out to the br, get loaded, dance your butt off all night, and go to a pizza joint and scarf down 6 pizzas?

it has been years since I have done that
My sister is RN...I called her... she said he'd be fine.

Didn't the person whose drink it was know how much they had left in that glass? Then they could have told you something like, "It was almost empty," or "It was about half full," etc. That way you could have seen how much your child drank.

I hope he doesn't feel too sick tomorrow, poor little guy.

she didn't say anything at all. i think she felt dumb for leaving her glass at a 3 year olds level.

Where did she set it down?
