It's sad when a teenage mother takes her toddler to a restaurant and they get served alcohol when she can't.
Applebee's in Madison Heights, Michigan started the process for 15-month-old Dominic Wilson Jr about two decades early, accidentally serving the boy a margarita instead of apple juice. His mother, Taylor Dill-Reese (18!), said, "He laid his head down like he was sleepy, then woke up and got really hyper...He was saying 'hi' and 'bye' to the walls."
The company that owns the Applebee's restaurant chain said it was immediately retraining its workers nationwide. DineEquity Inc said it would serve apple juice to children only from single-serve containers to eliminate the chance of any mixups that could result in any more toddlers receiving mixed drinks. According to the local police, the juice was an alcoholic concoction that was stored in a mislabeled container. Yeah, that's an old trick from my restaurant days so staff can have themselves a nice glass of "apple juice".
The boy was immediately rushed to the hospital, where his blood alcohol content was measured at 0.10, which is a decent buzz for a tyke. Other than not eating like he used to (that's called a hangover), he'll be fine...I mean, if you count being born out of wedlock to a teenage mother as not being a problem.
