So I (22f) accidentally caused my brother to consume at least 1.5 standards of alcohol while he was at school.

I have had to move back home so i am now living with my parents and brother again. So basically, last night I made Rick Stein’s Bailey chocolate truffles. I love baileys (Irish creme liquor for those who may not know) and decided to add a heap tone more baileys then the recipe called for, which basically meant they turned out like jello shots, but chocolate. You put the baileys in at the end, so it’s not like any of the alcohol would have cooked off.

I am not used to having the food I cook consumed by others, so I didn’t think about telling anyone about how much alcohol I was putting in my food.

My sister (twin, 22f) came over today, and when she walked into the kitchen I told her she should take home some of the truffles I’d made. Mum chimed in and said “oh you should, they are sooo good, I sent (brother) to school with a bunch of them”. I turned to her and went “ummm you did what???”

At this point he would have already eaten lunch, but I called him just before, and luckily he was fine (didn’t even notice).

I did the math, and worked out how many he took, and how much alcohol was in them, and it was at least 1 and a half standard drinks, so it wasn’t that bad, still gave me a heart attack though.

TL;DR, don’t make alcoholic foods in a household with underage kids without telling anyone.
