LAKELAND, Fla. – Olive Garden restaurants are making changes after a toddler was served alcoholic sangria instead of orange juice at a Florida location.

News of the incident comes after an Applebee's in Michigan accidently served a margarita to another toddler.

Orlando, Fla.-based Darden Restaurants says the mix-up happened March 31 in Lakeland.

Jill VanHeest says she took her 2-year-old son Nikolai to the hospital after his eyes turned red and dilated and he began acting up. She said he was given fluids and released a couple hours later with no lasting effects.

This is Florida. If your old enough to have your vote count your old enough to drink. Case Closed.

Applebees in Detroit gave a margarita to a 15 month old recently according to articles with the date of April 11th.

Sangria in a sippy cup here ping.

So Applebee's serves Margarita mix in a sippy cup while Olive Garden serves Sangria in the same container.

I had a fiesty 80 year old woman from Louisiana as a customer one day. She told me a story of when she moved here (Dallas) from Louisiana many years ago, she went to a restaurant with her husband and kids.She ordered a bottle of wine from the waiter and he asked "and for the kids?" and she said "glasses!"

She was the coolest most honest woman I have ever met. We need more like her.

I have a couple of friends in their 80’s. They are without a doubt the most unrestrained people on this earth. If it needs to be said, I can count on them saying it. LOL

I guess there’s something about living 80 years and putting up with all the foolishness that goes on. It’s kind of a break free from your restraints age.
