Can Dogs Eat Alcohol?
Alcohol is extremely toxic to dogs even in small amounts.
Details
Dogs are far more sensitive to alcohol than humans. Beer, wine, liquor, and even foods containing alcohol (rum cake, fermenting bread dough) can be dangerous. Alcohol is rapidly absorbed and affects the central nervous system. A small dog can be seriously affected by just a few tablespoons of hard liquor.
