yeah...cheap bastards. I remember paying 5 pounds for a small bit of 30 year old Highland Park.

He’s guarding that drink.

Ordering a mixed drink over there is the equivalent of ordering dinner a la carte. Whoa! Stick to beer, local ones in particular. They have some exceptional ones.

You know what Ted Kennedy called a whisky-drinking two-year-old?

A late starter!

An’ ‘e slept like a beby....

Would you deny a double shot to a midget based on body weight?

Is that the mom sitting to the kid’s right? Looks like she’s dressed up as a liquor bottle label, haha. That’s not Sonny’s first sip.

Methinks Master Rees will grow up to be a proper Welshman.

You're gonna drive me to drink

Americans pretty much drank beer instead of water until the eighteen hundreds - kids alike. What did they drink on the Mayflower? Beer. JUST beer.

We're getting to a point where if your kid takes a sip of your beer, Big Brother hauls you off to jail... By way of the media.

Family story — my father used flat beer to knock me out when I was a teething infant. Apparently I started to develop a taste for the other stuff Dad drank...

One night my parents were invited to my paternal grandparents house for dinner. During the cocktail hour, 3 year old me was wandering around saying “scotch” “scotch” “I want scotch” — my grandpa, operating under your theory, gave me his glass which held bourbon and said, “here Bobby, have some scotch!” Reportedly, I took a swig, got a look of disgust on my face and handed the glass back to my grandad, telling him “Grandpa! That’s not scotch! I want scotch!!!”

My grandmother aksed a very pointed to my father — “How does a 3 year old know the difference between bourbon and scotch?” I still don’t know what the answer to that question.

Oh, that is funny! [As your dad] I’d say you’d jokingly told you that grape juice is also called scotch and hope that there’s not any grape juice around for grandma to test that explanation with :)

And at least he used flat beer and not the bottle to knock you out.
