Babies & Booze

Clearly this is dangerous but admittedly a bit funny.

ANTIOCH, Calif. - Kim Mayorga was confused when her 2-year-old started making funny faces and pushing away the apple juice he had ordered at Applebee’s. The explanation came when she opened the lid of the sippy cup and was hit by the smell of tequila and Triple Sec.

The restaurant staff accidentally gave Julian Mayorga a margarita Monday. He grew drowsy and started vomiting a few hours later and was rushed to the hospital.

“I wasn’t going to make a big deal about it,” the mother told the Contra Costa Times on Thursday, “but then he got sick.”

The apple juice and margarita mix were stored in identical plastic bottles, and the manager mistakenly grabbed the margarita container to pour the boy’s drink, said Randy Tei, vice president for Apple Bay East Inc., which owns the franchise restaurant and nine other Applebee’s in the San Francisco Bay area.

The Mayorgas will be reimbursed for their medical bills, and Tei said the franchise group’s restaurants will no longer serve apple juice and margaritas in similar containers.

Wasn't go to make a big deal about it? They almost killed her child.

I'm not usually one to scream "SUE!" but in this case I think that's exactly what I'd do. To Overlord or any other legal eagle chewers: what kind of case would this family have?

They should take the child away for bringing it into an Applebee's in the first place.

I think I've eaten at that Applebee's.

If my memory correct, the service was terrible and the food mediocre... Oh, my mistake... I think I've confused that place with every other Applebee's I've eaten at.

Besides serving alcohol to a minor, they also have a case for gross negligence because of the way the apple juice and alcohol were indistinguishable from one another, something that could have easily been solved with a sharpie.

After reading this thread title, I thought this post was going to be about how one often follows the other.

There's an old Rita Rudner routine to the effect that it's ironic that pregnant women shouldn't drink alcohol, since if it wasn't for alcohol, most women wouldn't be that way in the first place.
