UPDATE 10:04am: The trio charged with supplying alcohol to a Hamilton 9-year-old have had their court date put off.

The video of the stumbling and slurring child sparked outrage earlier this month, and those accused of giving the boy pre-mixed drinks were scheduled to appear in court today.

They'll now appear on February the 14th.

Trio charged over drunken boy

Three people charged with supplying alcohol to a nine-year-old Hamilton boy will make their first appearance in court today.

A young boy was videoed at a skate park in Hamilton earlier this month, after drinking eight cans of pre-mix bourbon.

The video shows the boy struggling to stand and slurring his words.

Two men aged 20 and 27, and a 25-year-old woman were arrested a week later charged with supplying alcohol to a minor.

The maximum penalty for this charge is a $2000 fine.
