Mother took four-year-old on Abergele drinking binge
A 28-year-old woman has been given a community punishment order after being convicted of being drunk in charge of a child under the age of seven.
The little girl played while the woman drank double vodkas and at least five pints of lager at the Bee Hotel, Abergele.
Police were called when another customer became concerned. When the woman was arrested, her speech was slurred and she was unsteady on her feet, having been at the pub for about two hours.
At Llandudno Magistrates Court today, prosecutor Tracey Willingham said the woman received a police caution for a public order offence in 2010, when she stumbled while carrying her daughter while under the influence of alcohol.
Defence solicitor Gwyn Jones said the woman had already sought help from the drug and alcohol agency.

Welsh Secretary: electrification would bring considerable benefits to North Wales
The Welsh Secretary will visit Llandudno today to discuss the possibilities for the electrification of the North Wales Railway Line.
This Government remains committed to progressive electrification of the rail network and I have made clear that North Wales is top of my list of priorities for the next investment period.
There is no doubt in my mind that the benefits electrification would bring to North Wales are considerable.
I have already met and had positive discussions with the Secretary of State for Transport, Patrick McLoughlin and Welsh Government Ministers, National Rail and Local Authority leaders and businesses, and I hope that today's meeting will be the start of a process that will lead to a successful outcome.
– David Jones, Welsh Secretary of StateWe will not achieve results overnight - the next rail investment period is still some years away - but we must start now to ensure the business case meets the same rigorous standards of the South Wales case, and to ensure that North Wales is able to put forward the economic advantages that such an investment would undoubtedly bring.
This is an ambition I share with local authority leaders and Welsh Government ministers, and this is an area in which I hope we can work together to deliver for Wales.
