Took my son out for his first drink ...

[skrazo]

We headed for the closest tavern, and I gave him a Bud Light.

He did not like it so I drank it.

Then I got him a Corona, but he did not like it either so I drank it.

It was the same with the Coors, the Miller's High Life, and the Pabst Blue Ribbon.

By the time we got down to the Jack Daniels, I could barely push the stroller back home!

I remember my Dad....

My Dad would stick a baby's pacifier in his beer and let them suck on it.

A standard baby bottle top with nipple fits perfectly on a Mickey's Malt liquor "grenade" bottle. Mikwaukee is a rough town.

My mother said my dad gave me sips from his Miller ponies . She said I got drunk and crawled under the sink and was holding on to the drain pipe and wouldn't come out till I sobered up. They were afraid to pull me out for fear of hurting me . Guess they didn't reckon the beer would do me any harm ! This was while my dad was stationed in Colorado Springs , I was 18 months old when we left there and came back to Nashville .

Knew a lady who would soak a wooden spoon handle in wine and let her toddlers suck on it while they were having teething issues, or if she needed them to take a nap, fall asleep at bedtime. This way she could finish the bottle in peace!
She always had a bottle, jug, or box of wine near her! When she went to work, she took a thermos with wine, and cut with coffee in the winter, or lemonade in the summer.
She was an alcoholic, earned two master degrees, found a really good job, could not handle the pressure, and died young!

 

[StakeOut]

Holy Horseshoe Batman,I can't believe anyone would drink that Bud Lite swill.

Give the young man a good Texas Craft Beer

Blackberry Brandy may or may not have been dispensed in my diaper days to 'help' with a cold or flu.

 

[wuluf]

Huh! That exact same thing happened to me...

 

[JohnRippert]

I have fond memories of "hot toddies" when I would get sick as a youngster.

 

[joe44va]

I remember my father taking me to "Herman's Bar and Grill" for my first drink at 21. Herman walked over and said "Hi Joe, Miller?". Downhill from there.

I have fond memories of "hot toddies" when I would get sick as a youngster.

Yep same here - whisky, lemon and honey!

 

[snubbyfan]

Shoulda got him a box of cigars while you were at it.

 

[robvious]

I had bourbon rubbed on my gums while teething...
I never lost the taste for it...

 

[Bekeart]

Long long ago Had a friend in college dorm who had started losing hair at age 15. (Early hair loss ran in his family)

By age 16 he could drink in any bar on north-side of Chicago.

NOBODY carded a half bald man.

My Grandma was as pragmatic as they came. All us grandkids, when teething, got our gums massaged with Rock n Rye.

 

[UncleEd]

Sometimes when sick as a child, I'd get a spoonful or so of Creme de Menthe. Always fell asleep right after and woke feeling much better.

I need to read slowly I thought you rubbed it on guns.

 

[Warren Sear]

Children + alcohol; what could possibly go wrong???

 

[Qc Pistolero]

I need to read slowly I thought you rubbed it on guns.

I'll write this slowly so you won't be mistaken again:
guns=Hoppes
gums=cognac,or whisky or brandy or.....

I had to wait a month for Dad to buy me my first legal drink. Had to return from Fort Ord.
