Drop of alcohol to help him sleep? What do you use?

I have a 1 year-old who (like many I'm sure) is an absolute nightmare with sleeping. Not often but occasionally I've popped a few small drops of brandy (he seems to quite like the taste(!)) to help him off. It was something my nan used to do to me.

I wondered if this was something others did and which alcohol they tended to use?

Thanks in advance!

This is a joke, right?

This is not something I would do.

I just used to fill up a bottle with tequilla, or failing that meths.

If he's teething I've heard rubbing crack on their gums is quite soothing.

I use Baileys. It's already so milky you don't really need to dilute it.
