babies in bars

First off, I’d like to confess that I do have my fair share of good and bad things I’ve done in my life. I was doing anything and everything I can think of. There were some good things like going to the gym for quick weight loss and engaging in sports. And of course there were some bad things too, like going out every night to drink beer, get a bit drunk, and drive home. But I’d like to emphasize that I used to drink beer and that I know what effects it has on the body.

But has anybody read about this guy bringing his 14-month-old baby girl while he drinks in bars? These are the real father and baby in the article.

I’m no expert on family, or on beer, but I think that’s just totally wrong. THIS IS NOT COOL. I don’t care how badly he wants/needs a beer. You are exposing and endangering not only yourslef but also your daugther. I wonder what the U.S. Social Services has to say about this? Bars are no place for babies and children. No matter how seasoned a drinker you are, even a small serving or shot of liquor will somehow affect you.

When ingested, alcohol passes from the stomach into the small intestine, where it is rapidly absorbed into the blood and distributed throughout the body. Because it is distributed so quickly and thoroughly the alcohol can affect the central nervous system even in small concentrations.

With alcohol, a person experiences diminution of attention, judgement, and control. A person also begins to experience mild impairments in sensory motor skills and reduced visual acuity. And that’s just from having one drink. What more if you have a few more?  And with a baby in tow, I can only see that it will lead to trouble!
