A father has posted a video online that allegedly shows his ex-girlfriend giving their two-year-old daughter alcohol. According to the distraught Twitter user, his former partner had allowed their child to drink a can of Carling lager at her home.

Taking to his Twitter account, the man said: "Look what shes doing to my child giving her alcohol an she wont let me see the kid plz help by retweeting an expose her cheers (sic)."

The man said that he felt the need to put the "historic" video online because the social services had failed to help him when he asked them initially.

Unsurprisingly, other users were horrified by the footage, with one user writing: "Absolutely heartbreaking. That poor little girl. People like this should be sterilised!"

Another added: "It’s heartbreaking I feel so sorry for that little girl."

Despite the fact that he has allegedly been ignored by social services, the father was encouraged to keep fighting to see his daughter. A social media user wrote:

"You really do need a female solicitor and all the footage you can find along with the person who took this as a witness even if they are hostile towards you.

"I am disgusted and shocked by the footage.

"God’s speed in rescuing this poor child from the evil so called mother."

It is thought to have been filmed in Liverpool and a spokeswoman for Merseyside Police today confirmed they had contacted the mother and were investigating. She said: "Officers have been made aware of a concern for safety of a young child after a video was posted on social media featuring the young boy supposedly drinking out of a can of alcohol.

"This was reported to us yesterday evening (10th April) at around 7pm. Officers have spoken to the mother of the child regarding the report and are currently looking into the circumstances of the video."

The tweet has now been deleted, but that hasn't stopped plenty of people (including the father) spreading images of the apparent mother online. It's not known what the next steps will be, but hopefully, no matter what the decision, the child's interests will be at heart.

For the remaining NFL fans who hadn't yet come around to Taylor Swift at football games - you may be about to change your mind.

Taylor Swift's presence at NFL games has stirred up a whirlwind of reactions, ranging from adoration to controversy.

Ever since the Grammy-winning singer went public with her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce - she has frequently been spotted watching her beau on the field.

However, despite the 34-year-old singer's presence bringing a new audience to the sport, she's also faced a lot of criticism from people accusing her of "ruining the NFL".

Some critics argue that Swift's presence distracts from the game's intensity and focuses too much attention on celebrity culture rather than the athletic prowess on display. For example, one skeptic remarked on X: "Screw Taylor Swift and the Swifties!! I’m here to watch a game and not a concert. Leave my football alone."

Nevertheless, Swift is at the Super Bowl - rocking up with famous faces such as Blake Lively and Ice Spice.

And this time, after appearing on the big screen during the biggest game of the year, Swift decided to do something we haven't seen her do yet -- chug a beer. Check it out below:

In response to the moment, X users were loving seeing Taylor having fun.

"I enjoy seeing her just doing normal things. It’s pretty great actually," one person tweeted.

"Absolute respect to Taylor for this," a second added, with a third writing: "Taylor Swift + Beer Chug = not on my bingo card."

Another quipped: "Taylor is a millennial. She heard Usher and felt youthful".

Despite her critics, one person to have Taylor's back is Travis' brother, Jason Kelce.

During a recent interview with WCPO 9, 36-year-old Jason acknowledged the significant attention on Swift and the couple's public appearances - particularly during Chiefs games, where Swift is often spotted watching Travis play.

The Philadelphia Eagles center remarked: "The attention's there because the audience wants to see it, I mean, if people didn't want to see it, they wouldn't be showing it, I know that."

He went on to describe Taylor Swift as a "world star" and the "quintessential artist right now in the world".

He praised her as immensely talented and an "unbelievable role model for young women across the globe." Kelce believes that the NFL would be wise to embrace Swift's influence and recognize her as a role model for young girls.

"The NFL would be probably foolish not to show [Taylor Swift]," he said.

There's something uniquely thrilling about going to see a live sports event. Sure, it's fun to kick back with a beer and watch a football game with some friends at home - but nothing compares to being in the crowd at the Superbowl, or cheering on the tennis stars at Wimbledon, or - if you're lucky enough - catching a foul ball at a baseball game.

Gabby DiMarco, a Padres fan from San Diego, knows exactly what this last thing feels like, as she managed to catch a stray ball on Tuesday night. Well, we say she caught it, but it was her beer that did most of the work.

DiMarco was enjoying the game at Petco Park earlier this week when the Braves batter, Ender Inciarte, hit a foul ball behind him into the stands. The crowd watched with bated breath as it went up and up, then cheered as it came back down and landed - splash - right in DiMarco's drink.

"It bounced from behind me, I wasn't trying to catch it at all, and it landed in my cup," the baseball fan said.

As soon as she realised what had happened, the woman got up and began encouraging cheers from around her. Then, with all cameras focused on her, she downed the entire beverage with the ball still in the cup.

Unfortunately, the Braves ended up beating the Padres by a score of 14 to 1 - but we all know that there was really only one winner that day, and it was DiMarco.

There's no doubt that Mia Khalifa is one of the more recognisable people on the planet. After a short career in the world of adult entertainment, Khalifa was catapulted into the public consciousness.

Since then, the 26-year-old has moved into social media to work as an influencer, often displaying her detailed knowledge of sports - in particular hockey - and she's managed to find a lot of success thus far.

However, we can now add one more talent to her lengthy list of achievements: namely drinking. Yes, this week a video of Mia has managed to go viral on Instagram after she filmed herself downing a pint of lager in under ten seconds!

The video was filmed when the 26-year-old was celebrating a goal scored by Watford football club at Vicarage Road Stadium on Sunday. Mia cried out: "Watford scored, let's f*cking go!" before gulping the entire contents of her pint glass down in one go.

Earlier that day, the model and social media personality shared an image of herself wearing the team's colours in their locker room.

Watch Mia down her drink in the video below:

She captioned the post: "I can’t believe I had the chance to see first hand Watford play Arsenal, even though it was a draw, it was ELECTRIC. I saw firsthand today the power of Bitcoin, and I’ve decided now that yellow is officially my color. [sic]"

However, some Instagram users and sports fans were critical of the post, since Mia has previously endorsed West Ham in the Premier League.

Responding to her critics, Mia wrote: "@westham wasn't even playing yesterday, what kind of t**t wears the kit of a team that's not participating in the match to the stadium?"

She continued: "Time for all of y'all to stop hating from your mom's spare bedroom. Acting like you wouldn't jump at the opportunity to run around a pitch post-game, and see the locker room & lineup two hours before it's announced if you had the chance. "

A baseball fan has found himself the butt of an internet joke after his weird habit was caught on camera.

The New York Yankees fan was filmed indulging in a very odd drinking method while he was watching the Yankees vs. Mets game.

In a clip of the moment shared online by Instagram user Nicholas Heller, aka New York Nico, the man can be seen coring his hot dog with a straw. As if this wasn't strange enough, after sucking the meaty center out of the plastic straw, the man proceeds to use his hot dog as an actual straw, sticking it in his beer cup and sucking away.

Heller has a reputation for capturing weird and wonderful moments in and around the city.

He shared the clip of the unidentified Yankee with the stunned caption: "Wtf is going on at baseball games this year?"

Unsurprisingly, it wasn't long before the internet weighed in on the bizarre moment. Many people made it clear that they did not approve of the drinking technique.

"Good morning to everyone except for the guy that drank his beer with a hot dog straw last night," one person tweeted. Another wrote: "I don’t normally get grossed out by dumb s*** ppl do. But that one vid of the man at the Yankees game using a hotdog as a straw. Like… why are y’all like this."

"Who drinks beer with a straw?? Wasting a good hot dog," a third chimed in.

Some even thought the hot dog straw was so outrageous that they joked the man needed to be locked up.

"Life sentence. No parole," one person tweeted. A second wrote: "Arrest this man."

However, other people rushed to the Yankee fan's defense, pointing out how awful it must be getting caught on camera doing something strange - and suggesting that the combination might not be so bad after all.

"My heart goes out to hot dog straw guy, my biggest fear is going viral for being weird at a baseball game," one person wrote. Another tweeted: "If you don’t stand with hot dog straw guy then we can’t be friends. Life is about living, drinking beers out of a hot dog is exactly that."

"Man is out here testing the limits of your reality and the internet won’t leave him alone. I put peanut butter on a grilled chicken breast and it think it tastes amazing. Let the man use his hot dog straw," added a third.
