Dad Goofs, Buys Mike's Hard Lemonade for Son

[obamasucksdick99]

only in america

[mrbobsshow]

Damn I gave my 9 year old a malted milk ball is that illegal??

[DemonREC1995]

how can u get a buzz off just one bottle of mike's?

[charger334]

@DemonREC1995 maybe if you're 7 years old

[ptbash69]

Poor kid. I would hate if my dad gave me a mikes hard lemonade.

[MrNakito555]

@ptbash69

is this sarcasm?....i am terrible at detecting sarcasm.

[peypeyneekin]

pour them on gummy bears and let them soak. yum

[DUBST3PKlNG]

ahahah he just got a little buzzed, no big deal...

[topraman519]

His kid got taken away because he gave him one fucking beer? That's ridiculous.

[mmafanification1]

does this have more alcohol iin it then beer or is it the same?

[hotrod3002]

@mmafanification1

It depends what beer. If someone drinks shitty beer like Miller Lite or Bud Light, then yes it does...Good brands like New Belgium, Dogfish Head, and Bells on the other hand...no, it doesn't

I think Mike's has 5-6% depending on what kind you get? whereas most light beers have 4%ish

[gbo2k69]

This "news" video made me feel a little nauseous, quick someone call me a waaaambulance.

[cbrandom]

LMAO fucking university professor? Get out of your fucking academic bubble and learn how to function in the world in dumb bastard.

[auer9]

Love Mike's!!! 

[chronomitch]

Big fucking whoop. One drink isn't going to kill a 7-year-old.

Thanks nanny state.

[flyeaglesfly22]

it would take like 25 to get someone drunk....a few sips wouldnt kill anyone...

[bikegirl2]

in europe this is normall, god america is a backwards shit hole!

[cbrandom]

@bikegirl2 I lived in Europe for 1.5 years, and I promise you I never once saw a 7 year old drinking in public. You're full of shit. Have you even been outside of the UK? Probably not.

[choklatgoddess88]

It's vodka based in Canada and other countries, but in the U.S. it's malt based , which is basically beer. Glad to clear that up lol

[cbrandom]

@choklatgoddess88 I brew beer. Just because something is "malt based" sure as fuck doesn't make it beer. That's why it says "malt liquor" on the bottle. There are strict labeling laws governing what can be labeled as beer and what can't. Stop calling this shit beer.

[lordhughes109]

Dude its like 2% vodka why were they freaking out? i have one once every little while

[USAFFuturePilot]

@lordhughes109 me 2

[thepolice911copeland]

That is the dumbest thing i have ever heard MASSIVE MASSIVE OVERREACTION

[gem2889]

I am drinking Mikes hard right now and I love it! better then Smirnoff .

[gem2889]

I am drinking Mikes hard right now and I love it! better then Smirnoff

[shizzle5150]

Massive overreaction is an understatement. My parents served me wine @ holiday occasions from the time I was 8.

[trimi38]

im 15 and i drink it... it dont make me drunk

[historyofmetal]

@trimi38 then drink more

[trimi38]

@historyofmetal lol

[TokerMate]

I remember when I was like 9 me and my younger cousin were at an aunties wedding-after party and there was a table with a bunch of alcoholic drinks on them and we both had a few each and it didn't have any bad effect on us at all...

I would be extremely angry if this happened to me, I wouldn't take a kid to a hospital just for having a few sips of a 5% alcoholic beverage..

I cant see this ever being a big deal.. in Australia anyway..

[olopower]

HE WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL

FROM DRINKING ONE LEMONADE WHICH CONTAINED ALCOHOL. GOOOOOD

[glenshepard]

Of coarse leave it to the news to make something so stupid into something tragic And really even if the kid drank the entire bottle would it have really hurt him Maybe he was nauseated because of all the fatty foods they sale at games

I HATE AMERICAN NEWS

[insanedrummer2468]

i thought this was regular lemonade when i was about 13 and first saw it, and im not gonna lie i was dying to try it, lemonade in a glass bottle!

[stevemartinovich]

Dumbass should have heard of Mikes Hard Lemonade before this.

[zestyguy87]

Honest freakin mistake by the dad. He did nothing wrong!

[redarrowhead2]

5% alcohol. Big shit.

[Batistamaniac1]

OK...anything with HARD in it must b an alcoholic drink,its common sense there...its called Mikes HARD lemonade...not Mikes Lemonade...its HARD....so must be something real hard about it.

come on man!common sense.would filter in ur brain and say "why is it called Mikes HARD Lemonade?something is a litle shady about that name".

[aj19bcx]

@Batistamaniac1 maybe it was served in a glass without the brand name

[Batistamaniac1]

@aj19bcx funny u should say dat,some 13 year old kid,bought a cup of wat he thought was coke,but it was budweiser,this was at a Wrestling event i went to,for WWE.they should label drinks,since drinks look the same,and similar in small cups,

[iRwaaar]

@Batistamaniac1 Wtf? At age 13 you would know what coke is from budweiser there is no moral to your comment at all.

[hande7]

you give a kid and alcoholic drink and he feels nauseas...omg take him to the hospital hes not drunk or anything but he could be dying

[DaG2TheB]

Not dads fault.

[TrandomnesstwO]

For fucks sakes the kid drank a Mikes custody my ass.

[SLoBRoDTP]

Well dad- "In a world gone soft, someone's got to be hard" xD

[N0zix420]

fucking 7 year old kid couldnt even get drunk of them

[AlexWatkinsTV]

@N0zix420 most people drink them because they taste good. not to get drunk -__________-

[NYballer11725]

I drink Mike's Harder Lemonade 8% NIGAAAA

[TheWeepingStoic]

@NYballer11725 But you're still a pussy...

[NYballer11725]

@TheWeepingStoic LMAO! I drink 4-5 harder mikes and hit the club, got my yay in my pocket too..only pussy around here is you with your pussy gay youtube name....keep running around and trolling, thats why you ainr get no pussy ur whole life....fag

[TheWeepingStoic]

@NYballer11725 You're the one that drinks a ladies drink...I drink strait Jag and some bud listening to some metal by a bonfire and then fire off a few firearms...You "hit tha club" after filling your stomach with lemonade and semen and then get head from some flamer in the bathroom stall...

[NYballer11725]

@TheWeepingStoic Listen faggit...theres nothing wrong with pre-gaming with something that has 8% alc volume in it. I buzz faster, and thats why I drink them, plus it's tasty. Call it what you want, in the long run, ur still the one trolling on youtube thinking your all hard and shit, like I said..daz y u aint get no pussy son

[TheWeepingStoic]

@NYballer11725 I never said i was all "Hard and shit" you were the one saying "Mikes hard niggaaaa"

[TheWeepingStoic]

@NYballer11725 Don't worry about how wet my dick gets, i do pretty well. And no matter how you put it, you're still getting drunk off of lemonade...pretty weak dude...

[NYballer11725]

Woah Woah Woah . I never said I was getting drunk off these things my friend, I said I was pre-gaming with them, I get a slight little buzz which makes me want to go vibe. I can't walk into a club or a bar being completly sober, and Im pretty sure your and a lot of other people are the same way. No one wants to be sober when they walk into a place to vibe. Plus, the 4 pak is only $6 from the dude I get it from, so nothing wrong with buzzin up for $6 before I go out

[TheWeepingStoic]

@NYballer11725 Yeah i guess that would make sense.

[NYballer11725]

@TheWeepingStoic :P see man, It's all gravy because I had a good point :) I use to just go out and drink but I realized by the time I buzzed to where I felt good, it was already 3am, and that left with me with 2 hours feelin good, so If I pre-game before I go out and be buzzed when I get there, I then have the whole night to feel good, and get fucked up :)

[supamanxxx]

@TheWeepingStoic No offence but the "Your still getting drunk off of lemonade" thing is wrong. Technically it's flavoring is lemonade, But anything mikes hard is actually just flavored beer. And mikes harder has more alc in it thant beer...So it's actually easier to get fucked up on mikes harder than it is most beers...So yeah.

[SniPerAMeRIcan91]

@NYballer11725 i get drunk off like2. im a wimp ha

[cheergirl1156]

it on has 20% alchohol in it then the rest lemonade! :)

[aenyxx]

Anyone who goes around bragging about getting drunk off Mike's Hard is a fag.

[DedmonStudios]

oops

[sovietmarxist]

how the fuck is this news?

[pamlovsy2j]

I live in Wisconsin and here buying your kid an alcoholic drink is LEGAL O_o its crazy. i mean its called mike's hard lemonade. shouldn't that have caught the guy's attention?

[nikix33]

Lol. You can't die from liquor that contains 20% alcohol just from drinking it unless you have some kind of previous ailment. There's vodka that are like, 40%. Personallyy, I get buzzed super easy anyway. xD

[TheHurleykid09]

I personally think its a fucking good drink, i get drunk all the time off of it, Me and some friends got drunk at my party i threw a couple nights ago.. but the after math of it sucks!! fills you up quickly

[umahuma4]

hard lemonade has alittle alcohol in it, not enough to disorient someone or get them drunk.

[lienenforcer]

@umahuma4 actually theres more then enough to get someone drunk; it just sneaks up on ya I usedto tend bar and have seen a lot of people get more messed u on Mikes then on Budweiser

[JUNEBU6]

mike's hard lemonade has 5% alcohol by volume. most beers have anywhere from 4.02% (Cerveza Carta Blanca, Mexico) to 6.87% (Harfenrefrer, USA) others include Corona: 4.84%, Bud: 4.82%, Guiness: 4.27%, Coors: 5.03%... etc... i'd say Mike's is about average in terms of alc content... it's not beer, but it can still get you drunk

[umahuma4]

If it has around the same average alcohol content by volume as a bottle of beer, then why is it not classified as an alcoholic beverage in most states.

[JUNEBU6]

um... i don't know about that. what states is it NOT considered an alcoholic beverage? did you pull that "fact" out of a cracker jacks box? go to the convenient store and look at a bottle of Mike's. then look at the beers...they all have around the same alcoholic content.

[umahuma4]

Yes, i know, and Mikes is not considered an alchoholic beverage in the state of Iowa, but theyve been trying to get legislation passed on it for the last year, fucking burocracy.

[KatherineXIX]

There is practically no alcohol in Mike's Hard Lemonade. He was probably nauseated from all the sugar!

[koobz21]

LOL! no evidence of the liquid!

[josefiSnch]

Mikes hard lemodnae? doiesnt that shit have like only 20% alchohal

[GODDAMNSASQUATCH]

No, 5.2% lol.

[josefiSnch]

Lol. Then what was the problem here?

[JJ2cool42]

lol 20% is more like a strong liquor. that kid would have been hammered lmao. its around 5%.

[umahuma4]

he was probably sick more from the sugar

[4L10715]

whatever, this guy needn't breed. check his hard drive for kiddy porn.

[H2Johnston]

I drink Mike's hard lemonade and it's great.

[BLAZINFLAME360]

ROFL

[TejasTwentyTwelve]

Fuck that shit, that's why I love Texas! Parents give a kid alcohol when he is under age and it is legal as long as he is in arms reach.

[ps3fanboy34]

omg what a pussy

how do you feel nauseas on 1 mikes?

id drink all six and not even get buzzed ahaha

[KatherineXIX]

Probably from the sugar more than anything. I refuse to believe there's even any alcohol in it. The kid's BAC was zero!

[verticalseesaw]

ok fuck this country im living in. If i remember correctly, back in the late 1800s and early 1900s kids used to drink beer, and sometimes hard liquor. It was quite normal, now we grew up to be liberal pussies who think if a 11 yr ord drinks an alcoholic beverage he needs to be admitted to a hospital, taken by custody thinking the parent is abusive, blah blah blah. Fuck This...

[devilwolfmanmtm94]

if u knew anything about anything u would know alcohol messes with the brain. but to an under defleped brain it can damage it.

[MartinHagenDJ]

ORLY?

[devilwolfmanmtm94]

yes it can

[MartinHagenDJ]

The proof of this supposed "under defleped brain... damage" lays where?

Unless the kid is clockwork alcoholic, I doubt he's going to forget his grade two education anytime soon.

[devilwolfmanmtm94]

oh so it is ok for lil kids to drink? i supose when you were lil ur parents gave you alcohol. What do you think happens when your drunk?

[wikitdevil]

The LIB pussy did not know the drink was booze. The uptight , anal , repressive , fascist , far right , religious zealot PUSSIES took away his kid for 2 days and made us pay for the damn blood test. lol Ty for protecting me from a black tit and allowing me to see 22,000 acts of violence. lol Fuck uneducated booze swilling dickheads who have limited comprehension skills.

[60vern]

umm pretty sure the people that took away his kid wasnt far right

[CAPWEY]

@verticalseesaw Liberals? Liberals are the ones who want to get drunk the most! you fucking idiot check you fucking facts and go back to yahoo answers you fucking geezer!

[Ry51an]

What an Idiot!

[rottencrap123]

im 11 and i have drunk alcohol before but i was never admitted to the hospital!

[kpj200]

Maybe that's why you're so fucked up! LMAO

[rottencrap123]

whats so fucked up about me?

[DURound]

I bet this dude is a liberal and used to think that the state child protective services was all cool

[RCTPatriot75]

And a college professor to boot.

[effinyeah]

poor guy lol

[BTarbell]

This makes sense, the only people who drink mikes are either girls or underage kids who cant get anything else

[shanghaiwolf]

Mikes hard is just flavored beer. Its for guys who don't like the taste of stale piss, and also to get the same drinks for girls (hence getting laid) without alienating anyone. Its pretty genius, really.

[NYballer11725]

@shanghaiwolf I drink Mike's harder Lemonade in the 16oz cans 8% alc

[TheCoby420]

@shanghaiwolf mikes hard lemonade is not a flavored beer it is vodka with lemonade it is just in a bottle shaped as a "beer bottle " but it is good shit lol

[SydneyLovePJBJ]

@TheCoby420 Actually it is flavored Beer. Says so on the bottle shocked the heck out of me because I hate beer but love Mikes. Just finished drinking one and some swear its Vodka based but it isn't.

[mellowmark1]

@shanghaiwolf

Not all beer tastes like stale piss. But if all you know of beer is Bud Light or whatever, I understand why you would think that.

[cbrandom]

@shanghaiwolf It's most certainly not beer. It's a malt liquor. Don't even try to call this shitwater beer.

[CFRlongboarding]

@shanghaiwolf Pussy.

[geno2k3]

how stupid... stupid stupid stupid. how do people take away kids for stupid shit like this.

[titortizjr]

Holy sh!t. This is over-reaction at it's....STUPIDEST!

[typevx]

man what the fuck is wrong with people 1 mikes hard lemonade has 5% alcohol in it so for a seven year old who probably weighs about 50lbs that's like me (150lbs) drinking 3.. whoopteedooo why'd he go to the hospital? I once drank 34 beers (bad idea) in a 9 hour period and didn't go to the hospital

[Stossburg]

I say, even if the father *did* know the lemonade contained alcohol, that is still not reason to SEIZE the child. Rat poison, yeah. Anything short of poison, no.

[Flyin2hawain]

hahahah thats fucking hilarious!

[c8a6lvin]

You know the word "hard" in Mike's Hard Lemonade should've tipped the father off that the lemonade had alcohol in it.

[stotts75]

nothing wrong with a little father son bonding over a drink. Its not like he fed the kid a 12 pack.

[thisonefuckinguy]

those state custody assholes need to FUCKING DIE! FUCKING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES IS GARABAGE. IF I WAS THAT GUY I WOULD SUE THE FUCK OUTA THEM. but c'mon how the fuck could u not know about Mikes lemonade. and when the guy orders a beer and a lemonade and the guy takes his order, does he not see the fucking kid there? obviously the beer was for the guy and the lemonade for the kid. its the concession stand guy who is at fault here.

[sheistyindividual]

there was nothing better than curling up with a nice mikes hard lemonade, ODing on flinstone vitamins, and sniffing highliters and glue. RIP zima

[cherishshanae]

mike's hard lemonade is soooo good! but the dad is a retard for not knowing what it was.

[nicegyrl1]

yeah, this has happened b4. My dad doesn't drink and I remember he picked up a wine cooler thinking it was just regular pop until his sister stopped him

[typevx]

in isreal I ordered a root beer and I drank 3 and a half turns out they were 10% alcohol and they were called "black beer" over there I was about 13 and weighed about 100lbs so it was like the alcohol of seven beer for an adult probably equivalent to around 11 beers for my weight... anyway I was drunk as a mofo... my dad got mad but I didn't know it was alcoholic

[phabion]

it really wouldnt have mattered though...a lot of those are like .5% alcohol

[mustang7t6]

o god

[carrotkris]

dude you guys are probably like 10 fagges you dont drink

[flawlessxxxx]

haha what a retard! I love Mikes Hard!

[lolman12334]

yea its pretty good

[itsthemanmatt93]

who would have thought mikes hard lemonade had alcohol in it

[frosty1433]

cps needs to stop getting bored with the things they can't prove...

[leglitch]

Any understanding person can make a reasonable call off of this situation.

I feel bad for the kid.

[mafiaboarding205]

the situation was blown out of proportion...but i mean, would you buy your son a drink where you purchased a beer?

when your handed a typical alcoholic beverage shaped glass, do you not think to yourself...hmm i have never seen lemonade like this before?

[stansfield8]

Yes, I would buy alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinkage from a vendor who sells both. In my state you can buy baby food and whiskey in the same place (Mike's Hard Strained Peas). The professor saw a sign that said, "lemonade," so he asked for one and was handed a plastic bottle. (Ballparks don't sell "alcoholic beverage shaped" [?] glasses.) So the guy's not up on brand names and doesn't look closely at labels. It's not an outlandish mistake, and it's no reason for the state to swipe his kid.

[anth427]

it was jsut two days if u think about it tho

[RenoTurk]

Yeah, two days is nothing.

[hitmhard]

Ummm ? Shut up.. hehe

[Stossburg]

Hail the rise of officialdom! This is how it all ends-- we are not defeated by sinister forces from without, but by our own overbearing government.

This is exactly what happens when we hand over control of our lives to arbitrary, inflexible bureaucracies. The CPS employees may have acted in good faith, but the system still failed.

That poor boy. What an upsetting experience for him.

Don't get on the wrong side of officials, because they can cause you all kinds of trouble.

[JonasFajo]

That's really sad. I feel sorry for the dad and the family.

The irony is that if this happened in France, no one would have cared. Children drink wine at dinner all the time there.

These officials overreacted big time.

But I have to say, the father should have been more careful at what he was giving his son. I take care of my cousins from time to time, and I never give them anything that I haven't tried myself first and know to be safe.

You can never trust labels.

[006006006006]

Sue the C.P.S. and the ball park Officer.

Vote for Ron Paul.

Without a JURY deciding, CPS actions are just

C O M M U N I S M ...  It did not work well

for the Russians, and CPS is a disaster in USA

[frankenshank]

Everyone involved in the case was "just following protocol" as they say. And a guy loses his SON for 3 days?!!!!

This is America's future, an out of control system that punishes decent people for honest MISTAKES.

CPS gets involved, and of course what do they do... TAKE THE CHILD from his father.... WHERE WAS THE TRIAL BY JURY??!! WHERE WAS DUE PROCESS???!!! WHAT ABOUT INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY in a COURT OF LAW??!!!

[6161NOW6161]

dude i sip that shit all the time

[RickArter]

WOW that stuff is crap.

[caineray]

that stuff is nasty
