Now Chili's served a kid alcohol - Mudslide instead of chocolate shake
Edited on Tue Apr-19-11 06:12 PM by RamboLiberal
For the third time in recent weeks, another family-friendly restaurant chain has mistakenly given a young child an alcoholic beverage.

All of these tipsy toddlers are now doing just fine. But what went wrong? And how can this be prevented?

The latest incident involves 4-year-old Brooklynn Morris who wanted a chocolate shake and was allegedly served a "mudslide" shake that contains vodka and Kahlua at a Chicago area Chili's restaurant.

"I was terrified, and I was calm because I basically wanted to make sure my baby was ok," Morris' mother Tyree Davis told ABC News Chicago affiliate WLS-TV. "She was like, 'I don't like it,' and I said, 'You don't like it? Why don't you like it?' And I took a sip. Immediately I could taste the alcohol, it was so strong."

Note - this one may be a scam - Chili's insists the drink was served in "barware" glass to an adult.

2. I don't want to accuse anyone of anything
but isn't it amazing how one incident can set off a series of incidents just like it all over the country?

4. Close
One incident does not cause the next. The popular of a story once causes the reporting of the next incident.

5. Serve an alcoholic drink to a child at Chili's?
Everyone remember all the booze drinks presented to the Bush Broads when they demanded them?
