My pediatrician (old country doctor) had my mom rub whiskey on my gums. 40 years ago it was ‘old wisdom’ now its a crime.

Although .19 is a bit high for just teething, I suspect she was using it to get him to sleep

We had teething rings. Worked then worked now. Don’t see why this mom did not try them.

That practice was not uncommon when I was a child. One of my sisters did that with one of her babies, as well.

A bit? Uh, yeah; I'd say almost 21/2 times the legal limit for intoxication would be considered "a bit".
