A Michigan man temporarily lost custody of his son after mistakenly buying the 7-year-old an alcoholic Mike's Hard Lemonade at a Detroit Tigers game last month, the Ann Arbor News reported April 29.

Christopher Ratte, a University of Michigan professor, was looking for a drink for his son when he spied a sign at a concession stand advertising "Mike's Lemonade." He purchased the $7 drink and gave it to his son, Leo. Soon thereafter, a security guard at Comerica Park spotted the boy drinking the alcoholic beverage and alerted police.

The case was referred to Children's Protective Services, which took custody of Leo for three days because of the incident.

"Obviously, I made a mistake in buying this lemonade, which I didn't realize was alcoholic," Ratte said. "I probably should have read the label carefully, so I'm not critical of the police who were concerned. I just thought they overreacted terribly."

Leo was returned to his parents' custody after a court hearing.
