<div dir="ltr">Nadine,<div><br></div><div>I saw your post about Jill taking a sample of your celebratory Berrytini and I just had to laugh. Humphrey is a total boozehound; it's one of the first things we learned about him. The boyfriendslave got him for my 25th birthday in January. Humphrey was 10 weeks old. We took him to a dog-friendly bar to celebrate with some friends. Humphrey was on my lap. I put my beer down and turned to talk to someone. Next thing I knew, Humphrey was on the table with his face in my beer. Ever since, he's had a taste for the stuff. We can leave food on the coffee table in the living room with a stern "Leave it" and Humphrey will obey, but any beer left unattended at a height below 5 1/2 feet is fair game to him.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'd say that 1/2 an ounce of vodka in a dog Jill's size shouldn't be a big problem - probably just make her a little tipsy and drowsy. If anything, I'd worry more about the berry mix - that stuff is pure sugar, and if it doesn't counteract the soporific effects of the vodka, it might just give her one hell of a hangover in the morning.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My advice: make sure she drinks plenty of water to keep her hydrated, and give her a fried egg in the morning. I always find a good greasy breakfast helps me get over a night of too-much-partying.</div>
<div><br></div><div>(Oh, also, check to make sure your berry mix didn't contain grape juice, as we all know that can be toxic to dogs. If so, yeah, inducing vomiting might not be a bad idea.)</div><div><br></div><div>
