Yikes. That fuckup could trigger a relapse or kick someone off a transplant list. Accidentally giving someone alcohol is no joke.

I would be furious. I'm very proud of my sobriety and worked hard to get it. I have nightmares from time to time where I'm tricked or accidentally drink alcohol. I don't event want a sip. This would mess with me badly.
It would be one way to address extreme boredom. But probably not the best way.
This is very true. And if anyone wants it, I learned that the secret is to embrace the boredom. Allow the boredom to become extreme. Wallow in it and feel it. Better than drowning oneself in a constant stream of stimulation and intoxication, eternally striving to Never Be Bored.
I have to wonder what kind of person is waiting for a kidney and pounding back energy drinks.
Fair point. You probably want to be avoiding energy drinks if you’re on a transplant list. Drink water.
That said, people do weird shit while waiting around for something like a liver, and a lot of those folks get urine and blood tests for alcohol to remain on the list.
Live in Utah and wanted to joke about my cesius loving family members getting one of these. But in all seriousness: seems to only affect cans packaged in high noon boxes?
It would have to be intentional unless the liqour stores are splitting cases up. The packaging was marked correctly.
Well for the next six months I'm bringing celcius to work and putting vodka in it.
Hey McCree from Overwatch, what's in this energy drink?
