Jello shots are a mixture of an alcoholic spirit (commonly vodka) and jelly / jello which is then allowed to set. They are popular because the jelly masks the flavour of the alcohol. However this makes them even more dangerous for children as they will be much more palatable than pure spirits and may be mistaken for ordinary non-alcoholic jelly / jello.

Depending on the amount of alcohol added to the jelly and the amount of the resulting jelly consumed by the child, the results of consuming jello shots may be anything from very mild alcohol intoxication to alcohol poisoning which can ultimately result in death.

As children are still developing they are especially sensitive to alcohol and are much more likely than adults to suffer from organ damage and other serious side effects.

If you suspect a child has consumed alcohol then you should seek medical help.

Please see the related links for a list of symptoms of alcohol poisoning both in adults and very young children and to see advice as to what to do if you suspect someone is suffering from alcohol poisoning.
