A woman has drawn the wrath of netizens as she shared the shocking image of her baby having a sip of beer.
The Canvas was particularly shocked by this photo! In the photo, we can see a little girl covered in foam from her mother's beer, which she is about to drink. The photo was quick to go viral on social media and shocked internet users. Many denounced the behavior "irresponsible" from the mother of the little girl for making her drink alcohol. The mom fired back, however, saying drinking beer wasn't like getting him to do drugs. If she thought she was easing the tensions, her intervention actually revived the debate.
The caption of the photo read: "She loves the taste of mom's beer ". This outraged the Web. “Don't let her drink that for god's sake!”, “It's not even funny!”, “Do you want your child taken care of? Because even if it's a joke someone one will see this and report it to social services … delete this now or you'll be sorry. ", could we read in particular on Twitter.
The mom did receive some supportive comments, however. Some parents claimed that they had given their kids a taste of beer before so they would stop asking for it and it worked great as most kids didn't like the taste.
It is indeed not recommended to give alcohol to children, even if it is for them to taste. Alcohol is dangerous for the little ones, especially young children. On the other hand, a blood alcohol level that is well tolerated by an adult can cause a drop in blood sugar in the child, seizures or alcohol poisoning in a child of 10 kilos. In addition, according to a recent American study, giving a child a taste of alcohol may contribute to their drinking too much from their teenage years.
If a child drinks alcohol, it is advisable to give him a sweet drink but also to call the Poison Center.
