According to Sin Chew Daily, the occasion took place at the child’s family home in Beijing, China, on July 12.
Friends and family had gathered for the child’s full month celebration, which is traditionally carried out to bless and celebrate a newborn.
It’s reported that the unnamed grandfather was holding the infant at the party and proposed a toast, when another relative allegedly joked the grandfather couldn’t take a sip if the baby didn’t drink first.
