Amy Winehouse Shows Us Why Family Time Is A Whole Lot More Fun While Drunk
Posted by Molly Friedman at 6:00 AM on April 16, 2008
Let's play word association for a moment. When you think of Amy Winehouse, what other fun images come to mind? Needles, empty bottles of gin, trash-strewn apartments, maybe? If you're in a particularly imaginative mood, perhaps stashes of white powder hidden in sweaters? Us too. But among the drug paraphernalia and gravity-defying hairdos we normally associate with the troubled songstress, cute chubby-cheeked babies do not spring into our heads. Putting Amy in the same room as an infant doesn't seem like the wisest of moves, but the Brits like to live dangerously. And as this picture shows, they just don't see any harm in letting the music industry's most notorious addict down shots while singing drunken lullabies to their newborns.
During a break from recording her next album with uber-producer and future Lindsay Lohan brother-in-law Mark Ronson, Winehouse relaxed in a park with friends in the middle of the day during a rare sun-filled afternoon across the pond. And her friends had no problem depositing their bundle of joy in her bony arms, which is initially a comforting sight. Until one "male friend" offered Amy a mid-day shot, which she guzzled down one-handed while her other hand was busy propping the baby on her hip. And she didn't stop at boozing; observers say she was in between smoke breaks as well. But really, who could resist an afternoon shot of "melon-flavoured Midori"? We could be right in the middle of a nursery school sing-a-long and still find it difficult to resist such a fruity-sounding mood enhancer.

Now, now Judgey Judgerson...if it was against the law to give babies some boozy cuddles, some of us would never have gotten any cuddles at all.

how many shots before she's convinced she can breastfeed?

Maybe she has a cold and it was NyQuil?

It's a known fact that in Victorian England they would eat babies. (Perhaps the inspiration for the classic W.C. Fields line, "I like children - parboiled.")

A friend's baby, or a gift from CAA? Hmmmm.

I guess she's finding out what motherhood's like before all those spider eggs in her hair hatch.

I don't have anything snarky to say other than I'm happy as hell to know she's working on the theme song for the next James Bond movie.
Also looking forward to her next full album!

Anyone notice the bags under baby's eyes? Perhaps Amy gave him/her a taste of the good life as well?

Honestly who doesnt pound shots, while holding a friends child, when you are young and childless.

Add a Kent 100 plus a deck of cards and say "Hello Grandma"!
Besides, that kid's going dine out (or score) on that photo in about 17 years...

Seriously, that cannot be Midori in the shotglass. Midori is bright green and leaves a sticky residue which you'd be able to see. And ain't no way it's boozy enough for Winehouse: overproof vodka and Midori, maybe.
