Applebee's Served Baby A Margarita In Sippy Cup, he blew a 0.1!

[BoomerD]

Yeah...I suspect a scam in the works here.

smells like a scam

How come reporters never ask the obvious questions?

-What was the parent drinking?
-Was it an Applebee's sippy cup or did the parents bring it or was it just a small cup with lid and straw?
-Who filled it, parents at the table or the employees?
-What became of the sippy cup full of booze? Did they save it?
-Why did the parents say "margarita mix" instead of "alcohol" to the reporter? How did they know it was "margarita mix"?
-Does Applesbee's margarita mix already have alcohol in it?
-Does Applesbees margarita mix even come close in color to that of apple juice, and would it be obvious from the outside of the sippy cup?
-(to doctor) how much does the sippy cup hold, how much was consumed by the baby, how much was left in the cup and how much does it take for a child that size to blow a 0.1?
-how long would it take to cause the reaction the mother claims?

The first job of any legit journalist with a story like this is to ask the necessary question and assess the plausibility of the sources allegations. Anything less is irresponsibility.

The mere fact that the parent identified it as margarita mix straight off makes me wonder.

Margarita mix is very distinctive; I think anyone who has ever had a margarita in their life would instantly recognize the stuff.

Margarita mix doesn't look like apple juice.

No, but a lot of the kid cups I've had while eating out aren't opaque, so you don't always see the contents.

I want to see the security video.
This story is very fishy.
Doubt a kid would drink a margarita without realizing it wasn't apple.

These are the two dumbest comments in the thread.

Mom was just trying to get the baby drunk enough that it would actually breast-feed on those nasty saggy bags she calls tits.

I thought this was a scam on the part of the parents too, but the police report indicates Applebee's actually did fuck up and put the alcoholic stuff in a container labeled apple juice:

Aren't margaritas generally frozen/slushy drinks? Or am I thinking of a different drink?

Someone had to pour it into the sippy cup.

The mix isn't. You'd add the mix to blended ice and alcohol.
