12-Year-Old-Girl Finds Book In The Children’s Section At Walmart, Mom Fears It’s Promoting Alcoholism

Recently, a concerned mom went viral on Tiktok after sharing a disturbing book her 12-year-old daughter found in the children’s section at Walmart.

Ashli (@ashliann0214) shared the book Daddy Likes Beer with her followers.

Ashli explained to viewers that her daughter had watched her own father struggle with substance abuse, and found the book very upsetting.

The book is Daddy Likes Beer by Mike Lukaszewicz. It’s meant to be a lighthearted kid’s book with simple illustrations, but understandably could be triggering to anyone hurt by alcohol addiction.
