That explains so many snackless nights during my childhood...

I did this to my naive friend, she acted drunk.

That would make an interesting psychological experiment.

"That's okay Mommy, I won't tell anyone."

If an adult ever did this to me, it would just make me want to try it more...kids are curious creatures wnd when you say “this can make you drunk” a lot of kids will be like “COOL!”
