A boy of two who downs bottles of
beer is feared to be China’s youngest alcoholic.
Cheng Cheng had wine as a baby to
stop him crying and now screams for booze.
His parents are trying to wean him
on to milk to stop him being taken into care.

| Drink: Cheng Cheng allegedly first tried wine at only 10 months |
His aunt Cai Teng in the eastern
province of Anhui said: “All of us in the family have already thought that this
child can really drink a lot when he grows up.
"His eyes are always on the
alcohol bottles. We can only try our best to store the bottles in a place which
he cannot see them."
She added that during big festivals
he would cry for alcohol when he saw relatives and friends
drinking
Pediatricians in mainland China said
that the body and organs in children at this age are not well-developed. A
little bit of alcohol can easily harm their health.
At what
age do you thing youngsters should be allowed to drink?.
