Teens are Getting Drunk on Spiked Gummy Bears | Prince William DUI Attorney

Parents be warned…


Teens have found yet another way to hide underage drinking. Forget spiking the punch and Jell-o shots, teens are now spiking gumming bears or any gummy candy with alcohol. How they do this is by soaking the gummies in alcohol and then consume them for a buzz. If enough is consumed, you can actually get drunk. This clever method of concealing and consuming alcohol is extremely dangerous as it would be very difficult to tell how much alcohol the gummy bear absorbed. With the sweetness of the candy masking the alcohol taste and putting the alcohol in such an innocent package, the hazard of this delivery method of alcohol is very disturbing because it only makes it easier to hide and distribute to unsuspecting friends or to even young children.

The Internet is not helping matters as teens have very easy access to how to videos on YouTube and can find recipes with a quick online search to learn to make their own alcohol tainted gummy candy.

Parents should talk to their teens about this new trend of underage drinking so their children won’t become an unsuspecting victim of a spiked gummy bear. Experts believe that if teens know that their parents are aware this new method that it may discourage children to “brew” their own batch of gummies or engage in the activity altogether.
