The Drunken Tots in 1919: "Let 'Em Sleep It Off"

From the January 23, 2019, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1919, 100 Years Ago.

"A local physician had an interesting  telephone call last night from the country, when he was informed that two little children, one of two years, the other not yet four had put away a pint of whiskey, which had been doctored with herbs to make it bitter.

"The little tots after drinking the whiskey became intoxicated and laid about the house on the floor in a stupor.    Finally, when it was found what caused the kids apparent sickness, the parents thought they would be  along all right if they slept it off."
