ULPT: spike your kids’ first alcoholic drinks with laxatives
Posted by King_ChickawawAA@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 324 comments
This came up in a conversation with some friends… figured it fit well here.
Considering that effects that alcoholism has on individuals, on families, on society, every parent has to navigate this subject with kids growing up.
Say your kid is 15, and they haven’t had a drink yet. You decide to let them have a glass of wine with the family. You spike their drink with laxatives, which causes them to have explosive diarrhoea. You say “huh, that’s weird, maybe you’re allergic to alcohol…”
If you can do that a couple more times, they’ll get the impression that alcohol makes them have violent liquid shits, and it should hopefully steer them clear of drinking moving forward.
Unethical? Yes. Dishonest? Yup. Will it be good for them? Yup. Will they have a greater chance of success and happiness in life? Yup. Will they be better off financially, physically, mentally? Yup.
Would never actually do this, but it was an interesting conversation about the greater good and ends justifying the means…
rawzombie26@reddit
Dawg some of you should never be parents and it really fucking shows. This kind of behavior has no place in raising a child.
Just talk to you kid like a normal person, you don’t interact with them as if they are some experiment you should dabble with.
This is a really great way to kill your relationship with your children or really any damn person.
I would really think about this “tip” for a while if I were you cause this is more revealing of your own personal wellbeing and mental status than you understand.
I don’t know if you’re a child dealing with some hard times right now thinking of this being funny but this is just down right concerning.
This is not how you curb a behavior.
zfierocious@reddit
When your kid figures out that you did this, they are going to realize you are the absolute dogshit parent that you are.
dirtyhairymess@reddit
This could work the way you think but will most likely lead to the kid distrusting and being alienated from their parents when they inevitably learn the truth.
My sister in law did this with her son by telling him he was allergic to caffeine from a young age so he wouldn't want cola. It worked for a few years until he was given regular Coke at a friend's birthday party as a teen and now he guzzles an unhealthy amount of the shit.
photonicsguy@reddit
I've been telling my kid they're allergic to glitter and not to touch anything with glitter. Sadly, it only worked for three years.
dirtyhairymess@reddit
Oh you're about to go through years of finding the shiny sand everywhere without any good explanation. Just hope they don't move on to the hard stuff and start bedazzling everything.
ButtholeAvenger666@reddit
Not only this but if their kid thinks they can't use alcohol to party they might just jump into harder drugs because they aren't 'allrrgic' to them.
Demons0fRazgriz@reddit
People don't casually just do hard drugs.
Vamp_Rocks@reddit
Uhhhhh... Yes they do.
Demons0fRazgriz@reddit
No they really don't.
Unless we classify alcohol as a hard drug.
Vamp_Rocks@reddit
You can show me all the studies you want, but I was a backpacker for pretty much my whole 20s and I've seen people taking hard drugs casually on almost every continent.
Yes, even things like heroin and meth. And yes, people casually took it even if they never tried it before.
Demons0fRazgriz@reddit
Trump's America has already begun, eh? Fuck facts and logic..my feelings and anecdotes are more real than any study will ever be!!
Severe_Bed9436@reddit
Fuck Trump and fuck you, not mutually exclusive
Demons0fRazgriz@reddit
When and where babygirl
Severe_Bed9436@reddit
Learn to reference relevant studies properly and we’ll talk
Vamp_Rocks@reddit
Sure anecdotal evidence doesn't constitute fact. But as far as feelings... I feel like you're the one who's putting up the blinders here.
Even just looking at America, in pretty much all the major cities there are parties with all kinds of crazy shit. There are absolutely people who go to those who have never taken any drugs before who, when surrounded by people enjoying themselves, don't feel nervous and engage.
Drugs are still mostly illegal. And a lot of people still place a lot of stigma on any drug use. People lie when they would be shamed/arrested if they told the truth.
No study is going to have accurate information about drug habits among average people. The majority of data comes from asking opinions on the street or from heavy users who make their addiction known.
To state "it doesn't happen" and call everyone dumdums (especially on a topic you clearly don't know that much about) is extremely ignorant. You can't just blindly follow data it must be presented in context and reinforced with observations in the relevant environment.
Humans are curious and persistent fucks. There is no such thing as "never".
Cocaine_Communist_@reddit
Alcohol is a hard drug.
Demons0fRazgriz@reddit
Correct. But nobody treats it as such. Look at how casually we're talking about teens drinking alcohol. Fuckin psilocybin isnt even a hard drug but so many people think it's spoopy but alcohol? It's ok for teens to have a little sip apparently
ButtholeAvenger666@reddit
Alcohol should be classified as a hard drug because of its effects but regardless I've seen people try hard drugs casually just because they were offered. Shit I've done it myself so just because you have a study saying otherwise doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Demons0fRazgriz@reddit
I agree it should be a hard drug. It's more dangerous than things like cocaine. That said, studies show people do not casually go from "no drugs or any kind" to "heroin" in one party after a single day. Someone who would do hard drugs would have already tried something else, legal (pain killers as example) or illegal, or lateral (someone who would try hardcore drug right out the gate will have other personal issues in their life that would justify things like self mutilation, which is a type of addictive behavior).
ButtholeAvenger666@reddit
They might not go straight to heroin but they sure as fuck go to MDMA or cocaine or ketamine or meth. Also people used to pop oxycontin like skittles when they were easily available before everything had fentanyl in it. Unless you want to classify oxycontin as not a hard drug (which it most definitely is). Since they're pills I've seen people who have never even smoked weed try them back in the day.
Automatic_Essay1312@reddit
i do hard drugs casually shut up nerd
Demons0fRazgriz@reddit
Congratulations? You're an idiot who can't read. Maybe putting down the pipe and picking up a book might help.
He said a teenager who was denied alcohol would casually pick up a hard drug at a party do you have any idea how fucking dumb that statement is lmao if a kid can't get alcohol, he's sure as fuck not pickup up heroin.
TheBoyIsNoOne@reddit
what LOL
Demons0fRazgriz@reddit
No they really don't.
Unless we classify alcohol as a hard drug.
matf663@reddit
I had a friend who only smoked weed because they didn't want to be an alcoholic like their dad. They ended up smoking weed 4x a day every day
Runtalones@reddit
So the became a bricklayer?
majarian@reddit
Four whole times....
So anyways
matf663@reddit
If you think a healthy functioning adult can smoke weed first thing in the morning, last thing at night and twice more during the day without it negatively impacting them in some way that's crazy
Frozeria@reddit
lol they certainly can. I’m not one of those people, but other people can and do that for years without much problem. Sure, they’d be better off not smoking but it’s possible.
Sea-Performance9091@reddit
Those are rookie numbers gotta bump those up
tugmansk@reddit
I mean I’d argue that smoking weed 4x a day is much healthier, physically socially and psychologically, than drinking every day. But I guess it depends on the individual
matf663@reddit
Yeah but the choice wasn't between smoking 4x a day or drinking 4x a day. They just replaced alcoholism with weed dependency.
Brave_anonymous1@reddit
..I am allergic to beer, so I can't have one, thank you. But heroin sounds interesting...
Runtalones@reddit
Sounds like the beginning of a hero princess adventure!
“Left with no other choice, she chose the path of hero in life…” as little break makes all the difference.
TakuyaLee@reddit
But I'm allergic to heroin too. Time to hit that good old LSD.
Alexandur@reddit
Do you think LSD is harder than heroin
TheOne1ThatGotAway@reddit
LSD and Heroin aren’t even on the same level. I’d go so far as to say LSD is physically safer than alcohol.
TakuyaLee@reddit
Don't ruin the joke with logic!
PhibreOptik@reddit
That isn't logical!
PhibreOptik@reddit
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD#/media/File%3AHarmCausedByDrugsTable.svg
PhibreOptik@reddit
There is NO DOUBT that LSD is physically safer than alcohol! Alcohol is a poison to the body, I'd argue that alcohol may be worse for the body and society than heroin... At least on par physically, but because alcohol is a socially acceptable drug, it has the ability to cause SOOOOO much more damage!
PhibreOptik@reddit
I would 100000000000000x prefer my child use LSD over heroin! In fact, I hope my child someday tried LSD, I hope they never touch heroin!
macedonym@reddit
100%, you know the person you replied to knows absolutely nothing about drugs if they think LSD is worse than (or even belongs in the same category as) heroin.
PhibreOptik@reddit
And 17 people upvoted?! Like even if they don't have a nuanced understanding, they have to be aware enough to have heard of the "Opioid Crisis"... Never heard of any Psychedelic Crisis!!! Come on people! Heroin is a highly addictive drug, Fentanyl is a synthetic Heroin (not exactly but in simple terms, we'll go with it). You know, that drug that is killing 200 people a day in the US? In the almost 100 years LSD as been around, it is responsible for 0 deaths...
PhibreOptik@reddit
Haha, right? It's like comparing eating a bag of Jolly Ranchers to eating a salad but thinking the jolly Ranchers are the healthier option!
yumstheman@reddit
At least LSD isn’t addictive
Passionfruit-loop@reddit
Rfk, is that you? 🤔
purplepashy@reddit
I knew someone who tried heroin once.... for 8 years.
DS3M@reddit
‘The heroin helps me stop shitting myself!
The cocaine made me shit myself worse!’
foonsirhc@reddit
Far more likely to stick to weed than to start using hard drugs out of the blue. The societal shift from alcohol to cannabis has already begun and that is an objectively good thing.
Gingrpenguin@reddit
Tbh this is my favourite argument for druflg legalisation/regulation. Drug dealers don't ask for id...
Passionfruit-loop@reddit
Look on the bright side! They might do heroin and then be on the shortlist for head of the FDA! Or become an alcoholic, get crappy tattoos and be nominated as SecDef lol
yummyjami@reddit
Thats why you dose their first spoon with laxatives too. Won’t be doing drugs either.
pnwdrunk@reddit
Something similar happened to me with prescription meds. My dad withheld my medicine from me after knee surgery, because everyone who takes them gets hooked/in general bad for you (opinion). When I found out, I took anything I could get my hands on just to prove to myself it was “at will” and that I was in control. We have high pain tolerance and I was prescribed two medications. One was a giant anti inflammatory and the other was for pain. He just told me I had been prescribed the one medication, and I didn’t complain about pain for several days because, as far as I knew, I was taking what was prescribed, so mentioning pain at that point would just be complaining. After that I took a lot of medications, even after my knee pain had subsided.
Alertcircuit@reddit
The last sentence you said is key. There will be retaliation. My mom drugged me to make me hate alcohol? Then I'm bringin home a 6 pack every day
acidxjack@reddit
Backing this as the child who was never allowed to have ANYTHING unhealthy. When i got older and was able to buy food for myself in college, I gained about 75 pounds eating everything I could never have. Chips, Lunchables candy, soda, you name it.
totesuniqueredditor@reddit
What did she use? Just going by what I know about prescription strength powdered laxatives from several surgeries: they aren't very potent unless you are consuming a lot of fluids, have a really strong taste, and require enough stirring/shaken that any soda would be flat af by the time it dissolves.
It just seems weird they were able to get the effect from giving the kid a soda and not like a twelve pack or having them drink a half gallon of water afterward.
mrsrariden@reddit
I think she just told him that he’s allergic.
BrightWubs22@reddit
Similarly, the kid might already be experienced with drinking alcohol without their parents knowing. Then when the kid gets spiked alcohol from a parent, the distrust can start immediately.
CryptoSlovakian@reddit
Does she now at least admit it was a stupid thing to do, or does she try to defend it still?
dirtyhairymess@reddit
It's not really something that's brought up. There's plenty of other shit parenting going on in that kids life.
Smyley12345@reddit
I had a friend whose parents told him he was allergic to alcohol when he was a kid. He accepted it as he was allergic to a bunch of stuff. I forget how he figured it out but he was pissed. I think it permanently damaged his relationship with his mom.
Elegant-Set1686@reddit
This is a terrible idea. Don’t poison people dude
menotyou16@reddit
Every post is written by a 13 year old with no real life experience. It's crazy how many of you are out there.
Planes-are-life@reddit
I think the better way is to start with something not tasty. A "gross" beer, a botanical drink that seems more like a cologne/perfume. Having the first drink give hand sanitizer or poopourri vibes would be repulsive enough.
imawhaaaaaaaaaale@reddit
Malort. Lol
league0171@reddit
Keep Yourself Safe
rozenald@reddit
Or maybe just maybe teach them how appreciate alcohol without being a drunk. That way they will be able to act appropriately in any number of different social occasions throughout their life.
TremerSwurk@reddit
Just give them some cheap red wine their first time and that hangover will deter them
hammerkillin@reddit
This isn't a pro tip at all, just unethical and really fucking stupid
sanddancer08@reddit
British Gen X here. I completely subscribe to the European culture of a soft introduction to alcohol consumption from a young age in a safe and supervised environment. With company and food, hugely watered down, learning to respect and appreciate it. Etc etc.
Was brought up like this and did similar for my children who now, as young adults, enjoy a social drink as appropriate. I see nothing wrong with this and it's a hill I would be happy to die on.
I cannot articulate how dishonest and wrong the ULPT as described by OP is to me. I understand the hypothetical nature of the question but seriously, no. Just no.
INTuitP1@reddit
They’ll just become addicted to laxatives instead.
PigletHeavy9419@reddit
Showing your kids that it's okay to spike their drinks is some fucked up shit.
brain_fartin@reddit
Child soldiers and "brown brown". No thanks.
TrustfulLoki1138@reddit
It can work. My mother told me from a very young age that I was allergic to Novocain, lidocaine, and anything related. I never got anesthetic at the dentist (fillings, root canals, everything). I just held on tight to the chair and did it.
About two years ago, I was thinking of how crazy my mom has been my whole life and I had a new dentist and an appointment coming up. I didn’t tell them of my allergy and just went for it. Everything was fine. Turns out I do not have an allergy to novacain and moms just a bit touched. I was 48 years old before I realized the truth of the matter.
Emergency_Elephant@reddit
Very unethical but there's a decent chance it'll backfire. Let's say the kid already had their first drink. They'd know they don't usually react that way to alcohol and might get suspicious of their parents. The biggest risk is that the kid won't trust their parents and won't come to them if there's a big problem
lillitski@reddit
The biggest risk is kid getting dangerously dehydrated or worse from being Poo-Roofied
Alternative-Ebb-3728@reddit
America is so fucked up. The heaviest stuff my friends and people i know did was Marijuana and it was hard to get.
boxinafox@reddit
Another big risk is the kid ends up leaning too heavily into other drugs instead (opiates, cocaine, etc).

Training_Long9805@reddit
An ultra helicopter homeschool mom who was briefly in my mom’s group fifteen years ago told her only golden child he was allergic to candy (she told me she lied), so he was six at the time and had never had a single piece. We always trick or treated in their neighborhood which is known for absolutely insane over the top fun for decorations and hoopla, and it was so, so sad to see him every year handing out candy in street clothes at the door and never dressing up and joining in the fun. Kid really missed out. I wonder what will happen when he’s an adult in a couple years. Dude’s going to be Willy Wonka.
zuukinifresh@reddit
Or just be the adult and have an open and honest conversation about what alcohol is and can do. You can gain your child’s trust and hope you guide them as best as possible.
Set the example that in moderation, alcohol can be fun. You do everything you can and trust they will make the right choices.
And if they don’t and have a drinking problem, you do what you can to help them.
This is just bad parenting and if you want to run the risk of ruining the relationship forever, then go ahead.
Secure_Ship_3407@reddit
An incredibly asinine idea from a moron.
I-own-a-shovel@reddit
How about you be honest and simply educate them with facts and providing a good example?
My parents don’t drink alcohol, so my brother and I never were inclined to drink alcohol much anyways. I drink like between 0 to 3 times per year. My bro like once a months perhaps.
Education and example is way better than manipulation and lies.
Temporary-Line3409@reddit
lollapalooza at 15 was a great lesson about drugs for my kid. she got to watch girls be a complete burden to their parents, a guy flip out on a security guard in a psychotic rage, and a person passed out on a side walk surrounded by 10 people. the effects speak for themselves if u help your child espy the right lesson (and they listen). doesnt mean my kod never experimented. but i do think it prevented glamorization of it.
beads-and-things@reddit
OR, hear me out, you just let your progeny get a little drunk in a safe and controlled environment and let them discover the natural consequences of over indulgence where they can be properly supervised by a safe adult
Frequent-Walrus-1832@reddit
Keep some “weed” around as well for them to find. (It’s actually salvia, and they’re going to have a bad day)
taintmaster900@reddit
Just do what my family did to prevent a lifetime of alcoholism - encourage them to drink as much liquor as possible so that they get alcohol poisoning and then leave them alone and don't check on them at all to see if they learn a lesson!
The lesson is that your family hates you and you can drink more alcohol than god.
helpfulraccoon@reddit
My family did this and it actually worked - I am 32 and I almost never drink. I remember going to school wasted at 14 and puking in my history classroom’s floor
AnotherDoubtfulGuest@reddit
Where I’m from, the school would’ve called CPS if a 14 year-old was vomiting booze all over the place at 10 AM. that’s fucking crazy.
cblaze316@reddit
Yeah had a friend who's life was arguably ruined by going to class drunk one day
DstinctNstincts@reddit
Lol then there’s me at 13 on heroin at school. Only thing that happened was I got sent nurse’s and came back the next day not sure if I was suspended or not, saw the teacher who sent me to the nurse and he goes “Hey Ethan, feeling better today? Haha, yeah, you were pretty messed up man”
Las Vegas is not a place to raise a family :D
helpfulraccoon@reddit
Just a normal day in rural Appalachia
LloydPenfold@reddit
Did similar with my son at about 9 yrs - with chocolate. He'd had a huge Easter egg and hated the thought of "only a little bit a day", and asked if he could have it all. He made such a fuss I agreed, then sent him out to play in the street (dead end, no traffic). Within 10 minutes he was standing over a drain, throwing his toenails up. Lesson learned!
taintmaster900@reddit
I wish that didn't happen to you. Your outcome is not the common one. It's really funny that my family with alcoholism on THAT side (my dear drunkle), and knowing about the alcoholism on THE OTHER SIDE of my family (dad) thought they were actually doing anything at all in particular. At least I didn't pick up alcoholism until I was an adult 🤷♂️
ButtholeAvenger666@reddit
Did the same in my geography teachers class.
Professional-Cut8609@reddit

taintmaster900@reddit
I didn't die, everyone involved kind of silently agreed it was fucked up and it DIDNT happen to the next generation, I can drink more alcohol than god, and am extremely undedicated to any addiction I have because I am lazy af like. I literally can't make myself do anything I don't want to do. What the fuck.

do u have adhd by chance? that’s a huge part of adhd that isn’t talked about enough
taintmaster900@reddit
Probably, maybe autism, maybe both. I can't get anybody to really diagnose me because I have a waaay bigger cooler diagnosis anyway and it's basically pointless at this point in my life because I'm functionally retired and I'm not going back to school. (I actually never graduated high school, I just lied about having a GED to get shitty jobs before I was too sick to work. Nobody checked.)
sudo_apt-get_intrnet@reddit
ADHD treatment isn't just for work/school, it helps in basically every part of my life! And unlike autism there's actual medicine to help with a good chunk of the symptoms you can get prescribed (and I know for me once I'm back on the meds it becomes a LOT easier to deal with my other addictions, to the point where I basically start/stop the substances in time with stopping/starting treatment for the ADHD).
makemebad48@reddit
Hey man, I'm sorry that your family felt that was the way to treat you. You deserve better, and you can be that better man. I love you homie.

Weary-Mud-00@reddit
The actual unethical hack is to keep your house so well stoked on alcohol it becomes unattractive. My parents raised me so well that I literally at one point had like 40 bottles of their wine in my student apartment for ~2 years and only drank like ONE glass, closed the bottle and left it in the fridge. It was so uncool that I literally begged them to take it back since it was getting in the way. Don’t make alcohol a forbidden fruit, make it what it is: a mildly tasty substance with already unpleasant side effects. Being drunk is really not that fun tbh, there are better ways to spend your day

And you know…tampering with a drink, including putting medication in it without the consumers knowledge is just flat out illegal in many places. So this tip is better classified as an illegal life pro tip.
The_Real_Scrotus@reddit
Everyone is pointing out why this is bad parenting, dangerous, and quite possibly illegal.
I'm also going to point out it's pretty impractical. I take laxatives on a regular basis because one of the medications I'm on makes me constipated. It's going to be hard to hide a dose high enough to give someone explosive diarrhea in a glass of wine.
LloydPenfold@reddit

My dad is an alcoholic. He took us to AA meetings and events. I was afraid to drink. I did learn at 16 I was not an alcoholic or an asshole when I tried alcohol. It also still makes me feel bad physically. My feet burn/itch, my stomach is painfully a mess, and I in general don’t like it. I drink probably 3 times a year. But me and my sisters didn’t become alcoholics. But my dad still is very much so. It’s sad how much his life is affected and how many relationships destroyed. So I think taking your kids to AA & NA meetings is great. We heard all the stories and did not want to tuen out like that. We loved going to the events. But we were going when I was a toddler to adolescent. Then he began drinking again so he stopped going/taking us.
anonbabyghost@reddit
Alcohol dehydrates you and laxatives do as well, if you do this you’re risking causing dehydration and electrolyte imbalances to your child. Not to mention causing them to mistrust in you as well when they find out.
Select_Watercress_22@reddit
Don’t lie to your kids
NikolitRistissa@reddit
Or maybe just tell your children of the risks like a reasonable person? Drinking doesn’t immediately guarantee you to become an alcoholic.

Some people shouldn't have kids or be anywhere near children and that includes you and your friends
cilexip@reddit
This is definitely unethical but I wouldn’t really call it a “life pro tip”

Or you could like, just have a conversation with them about alcohol and hope that if they try it they use it in moderation. They might not even like it that much to begin with. Slipping laxatives to your kid is just fucking cruel.

Unintended incentivisation. This is not a UPLT; this is how to destroy children. It's also likely American. The rest of the civilised world teaches kids by not pretending they're all idiotic lab rats.

If your gonna go this route just give the kid enough to get the spins or they puke. But if you think spiking them is gonna do anything your insane. Yeah man wine makes me shit really bad. Their “friends what the fuck? How about vodka? “ Cant prevent kids from experience the world you have to teach them how to.

My mom just likes to drink extremely dry wine, so when I asked to try some she was like "sure!" I didn't like it because kids generally wouldn't, so I was convinced for a very long time that I just didn't like alcohol.

As a former addictions specialist and child/adolescents therapist, the quickest way to create a future alcoholic is to abuse them like this.
Buy a fucking parenting book. This isn't just unethical, it is abuse.
RirikuKun@reddit
While your idea stems from a place of concern for your child’s wellbeing, using deception and causing discomfort, even with good intentions, can undermine trust between you and your child.
If i was the parent, I would use open communication about the risks of alcohol which is more effective and ethical.

when I learned that adults were lying to me and smoking 1 weed wouldn't instantly kill me, I wondered what else they had been lying about and if heroin is really that bad.
I mean the adults in my life told me that pot would immediately give me schizophrenia and kill me and now I know that was hyperbole so what reason would I have to think meth is as bad as I was taught?

Haha i guess i meant how is it processed from the dried pod to be a usable product for a baby. I did Google it and only one article came up with anything relevant but it wasn't in relation to its modern day use in morrocco and didn't explain how they would process the pod.

I would go one step further and spike the food they eat hours before their first drink with Antabuse. Antabuse is medication for alcoholics to force them not to drink. When they do drink their body can’t handle the alcohol and will respond with an instant worst hangover ever. You’ll feel like you’re dying and will probably never touch alcohol again.
Ps. Obviously don’t do this. This medication is only to be used under doctors supervision and there are some serious risks involved for users.
orthographerer@reddit
Shit idea. Antabuse + alcohol can = permanently blindness.
Jwzbb@reddit
Bullshit. Show me one reliable source that shows this as a side effect after drinking alcohol.
orthographerer@reddit
It took maybe a couple seconds to find one; I'm not sure why you couldn't, say, search this sans my assistance.
Perhaps your knee jerked so violently you skulled yourself.
Fyi, the reaction was recognized long before 2023 (you can search that, yourself).
However, if this, to you, is not a credible source, I'm sure you're welcome to have at it with some Antabuse and alcohol.
https://practicalneurology.com/articles/2023-nov/disulfiram-ethanol-reaction-causing-cortical-blindness
Jwzbb@reddit
So you googled “disulfiram blindness”, ignored the first 10 results that actually see it as a potential cure for blindness and then found an article (from a reliable source I give you that) describing one case of a guy who went blind. Good job buddy.
orthographerer@reddit
I did not search, "disulfuram and blindness."
Antabuse is currently in a two study, forty person Phase 1 and\or Phase 2 clinical trial. The studies are not guaranteed to succeed let alone progress to Phase 3, or Phase 4.
So far, efficacy has only been demonstrated in mice.
The fact Antabuse + ethanol can cause blindness has been established for decades.
You apparently have an internet search bar. Try to further utilize it.
This is beyond not worth my time.
Have an excellent life.

Unethical? Yes. Effective? Probably not.
They'll eventually have a drink that you can't drug, then they'll realize you've been lying to them and then they'll think if you lied to them about alcohol, you probably lied to them about heroin or meth.
Not to mention the absolute ballache it will be when it comes to doctor/hospital stuff, being allergic to alcohol means you're allergic to alcohol and alcohol is a constitue of a ton of medical stuff. It's not just a drink.

fjordlover12345@reddit
No I don’t think this is a good idea. My parents let my brother and I try sips of their drinks when we were in our early teens to help get rid of the taboo. Once we got older, around 17, we were allowed the occasional glass of wine or beer. Both my brother and I grew up to be comfortable with understanding our limits with alcohol and how to consume it safely thanks to our parents. Comparing this to some of my peers whose parents banned any alcohol whatsoever, I’ve seen how some of them really struggled to limit themselves with alcohol. I think parents should be honest with their kids about alcohol and help them understand how to be responsible with it as opposed to banning it altogether
ceciliabee@reddit
And when they figure it out and never trust you again because instead of discussing the dangers of the alcoholism they're predisposed to like an adult, you drugged them and made them shit themselves? You've come up with a terrible solution to a problem that can be fixed by talking to the humans you created.
Real life pro tip: if you can't even be bothered to talk to your kids about an addiction to which you have predisposed them, you're not cut out to be a parent. If you think drugging kids is a good alternative to parenting, you shouldn't be around kids at all.
Unethical is one thing, stupid and incapable is another.

Gee how about having honest conversations about mistakes you made because of alcohol or other things in your life. I mean you probably respond super well when you find out you've been tricked into believing something.
So as a parent of 3 adults. My husband and I had honest, age appropriate conversations about what alcohol addiction did to people in our lives and our relationships. About their chances of becoming addicted due to grandfather's, great grandfather's, etc all being alcoholics on one side of the family.
Heck we even talked about how we wished we could have made different choices when it came to our sexual experiences.
As a result our children respected our honesty, talked openly about choices they were facing, asked for help or advice. They are in their late 20s to early 30s and while not perfect. Alcohol and drugs aren't an issue and teenage pregnancy wasn't either.
Who knew?

w3st3f3r@reddit
This ain’t it. You as a parent, it’s your job to make sure your kid understands the real world which includes what alcohol does to them. You need to help them understand positive and especially negative consequences for most things that could pop up before they’re in their own. I’m not saying make them your drink buddy or let them throw ragers but a place to experiment in a safe environment. But parent don’t parent nowadays. This “trick” won’t work. If they do attribute shitting their brains out when they drink, it’ll be to the thing they drank the first time not alcohol in general. But by all means be a shitty parent, if you thought this up and thought it a good idea to post it online I’m sure you’re doing much worse shit to your kids.
w3st3f3r@reddit
And another note. Controlling your kids is the worst way to try to correct behavior they’ll rebel against it even harder. You need to teach them consequences so they make the right decision when the time comes. I deal with college kids way too often and the sheltered ones that had no room to make mistakes and learn from them. Are the absolute worst with underage drinking and drug abuse.
