AIBU to let four year old DS drink some of my Koppaburg?

I know this sounds so unreasonable, but I feel so sleep deprived and I think I'm going crazy. My DS has been up for three nights now, he just doesn't sleep for more than four hours and never naps. My mum says to give him a little tipple to help him. Eyeing up my bottle of Koppaburg and wondering if I should give him a little sip? I literally don't know what else to do to get him to sleep

A spoonful of whiskey ir brandy would do the trick, but don't tell your dc what it is. Just call it medicine.

I assume your son is at school?
Does he really only sleep 4 hours in a 24 hour period? And no naps?

What sort of bedtime routine do you have?

I wouldn't advise alcohol no. I also am a bit Shock at all the posts advising you to drug him! That is worse than a sip of cider!

Four year olds should not be given alcohol.

No dont give him anything.

If this is not a usual occurrence i'd get him checked by GP (and he will.sleep eventually).
