Toddler served alcohol at Michigan restaurant
MICHIGAN (NBC) - - A toddler got a little more than just apple juice at a Michigan restaurant on Sunday. Dominic, the 15-month-old, went to an Applebee's restaurant in Madison Heights with his parents.
They ordered him an apple juice and he drank down what he was given. However, it wasn't juice in Dominic's cup, and his parents noticed that he son was acting different. That's when the boy's mother tasted Dominic's drink and got a big surprise. Once she realized what it was, she immediately called police.
Police say someone mislabeled the Margarita mix.
Mother, Taylor Dill-Reese says, "We took it from him and he kind of laid his head on the table and dozed off a little bit. Then he woke up and got real happy, and was saying 'bye' and 'hi' to the walls."
Police then escorted Dominic and his parents to the hospital. Doctors told Dominic's mother that he could have died if he drank the whole cup, because his blood alcohol level was .10.
Applebee's apologized to the family, and says they are investigating what happened.
