That pic was taken at the table whilst the kid was drinking it, they thought it was lime juice and water...I'd wager it was whiskey and water instead, or whiskey and lime. Not many restaurants I know would serve that much whiskey at one go neat.

I'd agree, if the drink in the picture is the actual drink it looks to be diluted.

I doubt a youngster that age could have drank a neat shot of that size.

I should imagine whoever was waiting on that table is the one who will have to carry the can.

Aye. Having worked in the industry (and still with one foot in it) I can see how mistakes like that can be made due to poor communication, poor training and sheer exhaustion. However, rather than address those, it will most likely fall on the person who served the drink or took the order and they will carry the can right the way to the job center and/or their agency.

The parents ordered the drink, gave it to the kid, took the piccy and then tried to exploit their money making idea?

Then they'd run the risk of being charged with cruelty to a child under the age of twelve years.
