A two-year-old baby in eastern China is so addicted to drinking alcohol that he prefers beer over milk.

Cheng Cheng, who is also known as "Little Winebibber" in local media, can reportedly drink a whole beer without feeling any effects and is said to have tried wine as a 10-month-old baby when his dad used it to calm him down, the Daily Star reported.

However, the government officials in the Anhui province are horrified after discovering that Cheng Cheng is now still drinking it as a replacement for milk and the parents are currently working on the problem but fear they could be prosecuted for their actions.

The baby's aunt said that at that time, all of us in the family already thought that this child can really drink a lot when he grows up.

She said that Cheng is really noisy, they have no option but to let him to try a little bit of wine and his eyes are always on the alcohol bottles, and that the parents can only try their best to store the bottles in a place which in not seen by him.

Cheng is almost dependant on alcohol now, crying to his parents for hours on end.
