Why did she think this was a good idea?! A mom in Arkansas gave her baby hard liquor to get him to stop crying!
According to Elite Daily, Lori Sheppard’s 10-month-old son Ronald was crying from teething pains, and she called her mom for advice. Ronald’s grandma said to put rubbing alcohol on his teeth, so Lori gave him a bottle with (who knows how much) bourbon! She then left her home and came back to find Ronald “unconscious and unresponsive.”
His blood alcohol content was .19 and he had to be airlifted to get treatment. Luckily, Ronald is okay and was released into the custody of child welfare workers. Lori is being charged with counts of child endangerment and aggravated assault with a $10,000 bond.
I try not to drink alot, a glass of wine here and there but not much more. I especially avoid getting drunk. Let’s be honest though, the holidays are chock full of drinking opportunities and the temptation can be almost insurmountable!
If you’re like me, you may want to look for alternatives to the usual “eating too much, and drinking too much” holiday season. I posted a list yesterday of some healthy foods, here are some healthy ways to avoid the drunkies, things like:
Drink something fun – there are a ton of alcohol free festive drinks online!
Always keep a drink in your hand at the bar…so you’re not tempted. Soda/water is usually free too!
Check out the rest of the list at Elite Daily, and cheers to a sober(ish) holiday season!

I like to workout and stay fit and active, but I also enjoy a cocktail from time to time. How do I balance both?
It turns out, that the real issue is what you actually drink (and eat), not how much you drink.
Thrillist says that you should plan ahead and eat more lean protein than fat on days when you know you’ll be drinking, avoid binge eating, and pick drinks with a higher alcohol to calorie ratio. Interesting stuff.

I have pledged to you that if there is a story that touts the health benefits of drinking wine… I WILL bring it to you!!
So, here you go. A man in Spain died at the age of 107 and lived a very active life.
And, while it is amazing that he lived so long, what’s even more amazing is his secret to longevity!
Antonio Docampo – who happened to own a vineyard – lived to 107 by drinking four bottles of red wine each and every day.
According to Food and Wine, he drank one bottle at lunch, two bottles at dinner, and one last one throughout the evening. Another fun fact about Antonio? He never drank water.
Cheers to THAT!
Fans of Beetlejuice should head over to Beetle House in New York…it’s a bar inspired by director Tim Burton!
Everything on the menu is an homage to Burton’s movies, like the Beetlejuice cocktail or the EGGS SKELLINGTON. Their website says it’s opening soon, so if you’re in the neighborhood, check it out!
What director should get their own bar?
You will either find this surprising or spot on! According to a new study, couples who get wasted together, stay together! Or, kind of! The study found marriages are better off when both partners drink – or both abstain from alcohol. Researchers found that if one half of a partnership was boozing it up while the other sat around, stone-cold sober, couples were more likely to experience marital problems – especially if the one doing the drinking was the wife. Women who do drink while their husbands don’t are often dissatisfied with their marriages. So, instead of marriage councilor, maybe just stop by your favorite grocery store and pick up a bottle of Merlot. It’s probably cheaper and a lot more fun!
Agree?

This man’s method of stealing beer is quite…clever.
According to Food Beast, a man by the name of Darrius Williams, 22, has stolen lots of beer – numerous times – by dressing up as a delivery guy!
He apparently just walks into stores with a Dollie, loads up the Dollie in the alcohol aisle, and casually walks out without being questioned.
Williams has been able to get away four times, and he still hasn’t been caught…
Law enforcement is currently trying to track him down.

Walt wanted alcohol kept out of his parks because he feared it would attract a rowdy crowd. In fact, the only place at Walt’s original Disneyland Park where you can purchase alcohol to this day is the ultra-exclusive Club 33 in New Orleans Square.
The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World began serving alcohol when the Be Our Guest Restaurant opened in Fantasyland in 2012. Now, according to Inside The Magic four other table service locations inside the park will serve alcohol specifically themed to the restaurant.
The four food service locations are:
Tony’s Town Square Restaurant–Italian wines and beers; pairings include a Chianti Superiore with their grilled pork chop and mushroom-bean pancetta ragu and marsala reduction.
Liberty Tree Tavern—beer, cider, and domestic wines; pairings include Koziol with their New England lager and Patriot’s Platter of roast turkey, roast pork, and prime rib.
Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen–global beverage menu; pairing include riesling with their Trader Sam’s head-on shrimp.
Cinderella’s Royal Table–champagne and sparkling wine.
The limited service of alcohol is set to begin December 23rd, 2016.
Dreams really do come true! There’s a new alcohol delivery service right here in Sacramento. Finally, no more hassle of having to take last minute trips to the store.
An L.A. based app, Saucey, has recently moved into Sacramento. Primarily located within the Downtown and Midtown area, you are able to have a variety of alcohols delivered to you. According to The Sacramento Bee, the three founders of Saucey have plans to expand within the area as well.
How the whole thing works is actually super simple. You download the Saucey app (available for iOS and Android), create a login, share your location, and boom. You are now able to pick and choose which types of alcohol you want. Your order is directly placed to a store and a Saucey driver handles the delivery. Co-Founder, Chris Vaughn, says that a typical order is completed within 25-30 minutes… not bad at all. Of course, you are asked to show your ID before your order is completed. The prices vary depending on the type of alcohol and tax is also included.
Another incredible thing about this amazing service is that they are actually looking for drivers! So, if you or someone you know thinks this sounds awesome, you can go ahead and start applying.
According to a new article from Cosmopolitan, a Harry Potter-themed cafe named Platform 1904 is selling cocktails in flaming goblets.

Sadly, this cafe is located in Singapore so you might need to plan ahead if you want to get your hands on one of these yourself.
