3-Year Old Treated for Alcoholism in England

In the world of disgusting parenting, a 3-year old in Britain is being treated for alcoholism. Not alcohol poisoning… alcoholism. Yes, you read right. Sadly at that.

According to reports the toddler was regularly given alcohol and thus became addicted to the drug, which is one of the world’s most abused drugs.

The child is being treated for the condition at a local hospital. But so far no mention of what course of action is being taken against the people giving the child the booze.

Here’s a friendly reminder to any parent or guardian or babysitter who might think giving a child an alcoholic beverage is a good idea: Just because the kid can say cheers doesn’t mean they’re ready to get plastered. Just a thought. [Canadian Press]
