    Its only a matter of time before students start going there dressed as toddlers and ordering cokes in hopes of getting free whiskey!

    Apparently on the continent of Europe, particularly in France, Spain and Italy, parents allow their kiddies to guzzle 'wine' from a very early age in order to inure them to the taste and prepare them for the onerous tasks of philosophising, bullfighting, and sculpting, later in life.

    This practice of 'force feeding' is often cited here and in the UK as the main reason why our friends on the continent are less likely to indulge in 'binge drinking' when they're much much older, say 14 or 15.

    Maybe it's not such a crazy idea after all, but let's hope that before the two year old was served the whiskey, the standard admonishment of 'please drink responsibly' was given, as it is always given to grown adults by the drinks industry who care not one whit for profits but only for our health and well being.

    The thing is the European minorities in Australia then throw their children into their swimming-pool, immediately after lunch.

    do toddlers have a higher tolerance for alcohol than adults or something? How did these kids drink enough that they had to go to the hospital?

    That baby would do well to stick to pints first and hit the shorts later on. Whiskey on empty stomach can make one contrary and argumentative(throw a punch)
