Toddler Seen Drinking From Beer Bottle at Baseball Game Video
PHILADELPHIA -- A video snippet from a Philadelphia Phillies broadcast appears to show a little boy in the stands taking a drink from a beer bottle, but the team thinks it was probably empty.

The fuzzy video making the rounds online shows the child putting the bottle to his lips at Sunday's Phillies-Padres game at Citizens Bank Park. No one nearby appears to be paying attention to him when he does. It's not clear whether the bottle has anything in it.

Phillies spokeswoman Bonnie Clark says the team hasn't been able to identify the boy. She says it appears to be "a very brief event, probably involving an empty bottle."

1. awwwww n/t

[villager]

2. Glad to see this nation has its panic priorities straight...

n/t

[edbermac]

3. It's Mini-Me in a blond wig.

:beer:

[Renew Deal]

4. Of course no one is paying attention. This is Philly

:D

[leftofcool]

5. It might have water in it. Could also be root beer.

Blurry pics and all.

[FSogol]

10. Water bottles aren't brown. Beer comes in dark bottles to keep it from

getting skunky. Root beer isn't usually sold at ballparks.

[leftofcool]

13. What if the parents poured water in it because that is the bottle they

had on hand? Don't go to ballgames so I wouldn't know what drinks are served.

[LynneSin]

6. So who here sampled what was in the bottle to confirm it was beer - please raise your hands

nuff said

[FSogol]

7. Little kids always do that. My kids would do that at company picnics, parties,

bbqs, etc much to the amusement of everyone.

[Politicalboi]

8. They allow glass bottles

In a stadium? Wouldn't surprise me if the bottle had beer in it. People think it's cute. It's just as bad as the Puff Baby.

[FSogol]

9. It is a plastic bottle for beer. Probably Miller or some such swill.

All ballparks sell them.

[RaleighNCDUer]

15. In which case you could hardly say he was really drinking beer.

I mean, really...

[slampoet]

11. Welcome to something that happens all the time in the world.

You say a lot about yourself to consider this news.

[Ter]

12. Lots of dads fill their empty beer bottles with juice water or soda

Then they give it to the kids who "make believe" they are drinking beer. Same thing when a kid orders a Shirley Temple. They make believe it's alcohol, because it's technically a mixed drink.

[leftofcool]

14. +1000

[Xenotime]

17. Then people wonder how underage drinking get started.

[Ter]

23. Oh please, kids will be kids

I bet you oppose candy cigarettes too. I had them as a kid, and grew up a non-smoker.

[Liberal_in_LA]

29. I loved candy cigs and the bubble gum cigars

[onenote]

28. right. and using a squirt gun turns you into a mass murderer

:sarcasm:

[RaleighNCDUer]

19. Not to mention, it costs a whole lot less to fill an empty beer bottle from a water

fountain than it does to buy a half-liter of water from concessions - that'd be what, $5?

[NightWatcher]

16. what's the big deal, I doubt he drove home after the game

[Hassin Bin Sober]

21. I heard he was the designated driver. That was his only beer.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. I drink these big unsweetened teas in glass bottles that look like nothing so much as 40 ouncers.

I always get people looking at me like they think I'm sitting at the park with my kids, getting drunk.

[Liberal_in_LA]

30. You should wrap that in a paper bag

[j420norcal]

33. And pour a little out on the ground for your homies n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. He should team up with that Korean smoking kid and the kid who stole the car.

that would be one bad ass gang of kids.

[NeedleCast]

22. That does not look like a beer bottle

it is far too enlongated.

And even if it was, who cares? Kid had a sip of beer. So what?

[HuckleB]

24. After finishing off the bottle, he can clearly be seen singing the words to Donna Summer's song...

uh, oh, wait, nevermind.

[Mendocino]

25. And after he quaffed the beer,

he threw the bottle at the visiting left-fielder and called the pitcher a m@*herf#(ker. Then ran onto the field and was tazed.

[Regret My New Name]

26. Lock the kid up and throw away the key.

CRIMINAL!

[joeybee12]

27. Hardly news when it happens at a Phillies game...

:crazy:

[Nuclear Unicorn]

31. I bet he slept good that night.

[malaise]

32. My dad allowed us to have a sip of his beer

when we were that age.

[donco6]

34. Me too.

But I guess this is cause for a nationwide manhunt now.

[FSogol]

35. Same here and look how we turned out

;-)
