Officers in Warrington seized the alcohol from the children in Great Sankey and warned the mother and other parents tempted to supply children with alcohol they face on-the-spot fines or even prison if they buy alcohol for underage drinkers.
Police Community Support Officer Dave Brownlee said: "It is shocking to think that parents are supplying their children with alcohol when it is blatantly against the law."
Jane Knight, from Warrington Primary Care Trust, said 93 under-18s in Warrington had to be admitted to hospital due to intoxication last year.
"Experimental drinking is particularly harmful as a young body cannot tolerate large quantities of alcohol," she said.
