How to raise an alcoholic


Are you kidding me?

My wife pointed out this little gem to me in Babytalk magazine. What first birthday party would be complete without fake alcoholic beverages! Here is the recipe for a "mocktini".

Babytalk-tini
Dazzle your guests -- kids and adults alike -- with a signature cocktail that you make and chill before they arrive. Grown-ups can add vodka to make this "mocktail" a true cocktail!

Babytalk-tini
92 ounces pineapple juice
30 ounces white-grape juice
20 ounces grape juice
12 ounces thawed fruit-punch concentrate
11 2 cups orange-flavored vodka -- or a 1-ounce shot per individual serving (optional)
In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine all ingredients. Refrigerate. Before serving, garnish with thin slices of orange. Serves 15–20.

That is great! Start them early with drinks that look like alcohol, so they can look forward to adulthood and being able to get liquored up at every opportunity! That is what every child should aspire to, growing up so they can drink booze just like mommy and daddy!
These people are the experts in child rearing? That is not cute, it is just sick. Why not give them some fake cigarettes to smoke?
