( CNN ) -- A 15-month-old was hospitalized after a behind-the-bar mix-up at a Michigan Applebee 's restaurant that left the toddler sipping alcohol instead of apple juice . Police were called to the Madison Heights restaurant on Friday evening after the parents of Dominic Wilson Jr. noticed their son acting strange during a family dinner . `` He was saying 'hi ' and 'bye ' to the walls , '' said Wilson 's mother , Taylor Dill-Reese , 18 . `` He laid his head down like he was sleepy , then woke up and got really hyper . '' At first , Dill-Reese blamed his odd behavior on lack of sleep . But at the end of the meal , she said Wilson 's father was stunned by what he tasted after taking a sip of his son 's juice . The juice was an alcoholic concoction that was stored in a mislabeled container , according to a Madison Heights Police Department news release . `` The container was apple juice but it had margarita mix in it , '' Dill-Reese said . Wilson was immediately rushed to the hospital , where his blood alcohol content was measured at 0.10 , Dill-Reese said . `` They said if he had drank that whole cup he would have died , '' she said , adding that she and her family will never return to the eatery . `` It was unreal , '' she said . `` You do n't expect to go to a family restaurant , and your 15-month-old gets served alcohol . '' Dill-Reese said the child is doing OK but they are taking him to see a doctor because he 's `` not eating like he used to . '' Dill-Reese said she and her boyfriend -- both of whom are under 21 and not legally allowed to drink -- were both drinking smoothies during the meal . `` Obviously any situation like this is unacceptable , '' Applebee 's officials said in a statement . `` We are working with local authorities and conducting our own investigation to assess exactly what happened . '' Police have deemed the incident an accident .
