Parents in the Midst of a Beer‑Bottled Brouhaha
July 17, 2018 – Anuradhapura Village
This quirky, yet disquieting clip hit the internet, and the Sri Lankan police had to step in. It all began when a dad—caught on a buzzing social‑media video—handed a silly dose of beer to his one‑year‑old son. The scene, filmed in the picturesque village of Meegalewa, saw the little munchkin scooping from a beer bottle while his dad and three friends cheerfully made merry.
What Went Down
- Unexpected Snack‑Time: The father, sporting a grin, poured a beer into his child’s bottle twice. A background shout screamed, “Alcohol for kids? No way!”
- Immediate Arrest: Police swooped in after the video aired on local TV, taking the dad and his friends into custody for alleged cruelty.
- Medical Check‑Up: A judicial medical officer will soon examine the baby’s bottle to confirm whether it was truly alcoholic.
- Trending Trouble: This arrest follows a series of bizarre social‑media incidents where parenting faux‑pas go viral.
Public Reaction (and a bit of humor!)
While babies are supposed to drink milk, not malt, the video sparked a mix of laughter and disbelief. Some viewers joked about “baby brewing” while others reminded parents that a “sippy cup” is not a “sippy purse” for beer.
In a broader sense, this episode highlights how a single, annoying video can trigger police action and a societal conversation about child welfare—yes, but no schnapps for the little ones!
