Ok, this is fucked up. But...bear in mind, that my grandmother used to put a teaspoon of whiskey, in an 8oz bottle of water, to help me sleep, when I wasn't feeling well. When I was older, she would give me "cough medicine", made up of whiskey, lemon juice and honey. I still use that mixture to this day, and it works far better than any over the counter cough medicine that I've tried. Am I condoning what they've done? No. Obviously they went way too far, in dosing the child. But, in so far as giving an infant alcohol being moraly reprehensible...I don't think so. It's just our modern sensibilities coming into play. Grandma knew a thing or two.
