So all of these posts talking about how beer is helpful for breastfeeding ... the waitress might very well agree wholeheartedly. What she objected to was the mom drinking three or four Long Island Iced Teas and breastfeeding -- that is what the waitress claimed IN THE STORY that nobody read.
I still think calling the cops, getting government involved, was the wrong way to handle the situation. Nosy, busy-body waitress would have been more "right" to call her church-lady buddies than the cops.
When stories are excerpted (for whatever reason) I rarely click out to the other site to read the whole story. The news sites that bully and use litigation to force excerpting can kiss my butt. The waitress claim was not in the excerpt. The nursing mother's claim that she drank a couple of beers was in the excerpt. So from the portion of the story that was available to read in the Forum, beer was the relevant issue. But even if she was drinking lots of hard liquor, it takes time for that hard liquor to make it into the bloodstream and even longer to make it into the mammaries and lactual glands and even longer still for it to get into the milk. The already produced and packaged milk that the baby was drinking would have been perfectly fine.
