Middle school student gets sick after drinking 9 mini whiskey bottles, report says

It says he appeared to be drunk at school and was vomiting and moving unsteadily. He was hospitalized and later released.

The teen was arrested and charged with drunkenness and liquor law violations possession at the school. The report says he was then released into his mother's custody.
