A Georgia police department is reminding parents to double-check what they pack inside their kids’ lunchboxes after a student brought a canned, ready-to-drink martini cocktail to school.<\/p>\n

“Say Twin\u2026 Before you send them babies off to school\u2026 CHECK. THE. LUNCHBOX,” the City of South Fulton Police Department wrote in a Facebook post<\/a> on Wednesday. “Because why are we getting reports of juice boxes sitting next to\u2026 Cutwater margaritas??”<\/p>\n

The warning came with a photo of a child’s lunchbox that contained Doritos, snacks and a Cutwater Lemon Drop Martini, which has 11% alcohol, twice the ABV of most beers.<\/p>\n

“That is NOT Capri Sun. That is NOT Apple Juice. That is a whole ‘Parent had a long night’ starter pack,” police said. “Now little Johnny done pulled up to 3rd period talking about: ‘Who want fruit snacks?’ knowing good and well he got a Lemon Drop Martini in the zipper pocket.”<\/p>\n

Police emphasized that the incident should serve as a reminder for families to slow down during busy mornings. Their message, though playful, was direct: “TIGHTEN UP TWIN!”<\/p>\n

The department also shared a simple checklist for parents:\u00a0“Homework \u2705 Lunch packed \u2705 Alcoholic beverages \u274c\u274c\u274c.”<\/p>\n

They added one more guideline for anyone rushing through the morning routine: “If it says 12% ABV\u2026 it does NOT belong next to a PB&J.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Georgia police department is reminding parents to double-check what they pack inside their kids’ lunchboxes after a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":182332,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117,10548],"class_list":["post-182331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news","tag-parenting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/182332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
