If a 12 oz can at 5% ABV once per day makes you feel liver pain, there’s probably something wrong with your liver, and maybe the drinking life isn’t for you.
I miss feeling things
It’s not easy to tell the difference between a can of kombucha and a can of thc sparkling juice at first glance either. Both have similar designs.
I’m sorry, you don’t know what an alcohol buzz feels like? I’m caling bullshit on this one.
In the 19th century all kinds of “snake oil” mixtures were sold as pain killers and energy tonics. The vast majority were just something suspended in alcohol. Alcohol dulls pain and makes you feel a rush of euphoria. So people thought it was “medicine.”
It continues to this day. My wife was convinced that a certain kombucha was benefitting her gut microbiome in some profound way because it made her feel so great to drink it. Turns out the brand got in trouble - their process was letting through 1.5-2% alcohol (yes my wife is a lightweight).
What brand?
White Claw
Michelob Ultra
Mike’s hard lemonade
Grain Belt
GT’s, around 15 years ago
Aww. I like their stuff. But I didn’t get to have more alchy fun! I started trying theirs out like 5 years ago.
Funnily enough I think now they sell a “hard” version that’s something like 1.5% so you can actually go have that fun! They’re just doing it legally now, with all proper labeling and licensing.
Do people not read the package at all for the food they consume? It says right on the front the alcohol content.
Put it near enough to the energy drink case in the convenience store, and this kind of mixup seems plausible.
Party pooper
That’s just one drink a day, not that bad for your liver. (For some anyway, I have no idea how some people drink so much.)
If it’s in the car, it’s pretty illegal a lot of places.
If one was to drink a beer first thing in the morning to get an energy boost it would be called “hair of the dog”. IMO, dude in this fictional story has a hangover and the malt liquor alleviates his symptoms.

Watched my boss drink one of those and a red bull at the same time. Regular thing for her apparently.
That’s a Redbull Vodka with soda water.
Is this from a Trailer Park Boys episode?
This lady makes six figures for sure. Sounds like it though.
Like alternating between, mixed drink, or just both cans right to the mouth at once?
She had two cans open, alternating between the two. It was like watching a train wreck.
Conversely, we had a small event at work with three different drinks, of which two were lemonade and the third looked like just another flavor of lemonade, but was actually an energy drink. You basically had to read the ingredients to find out.
Let’s be clear here, calling white claws an alcoholic beverage is… Technically true, but it’s literally %2.5, I wouldn’t put it past someone to not notice they’re drinking with that weak sauce
Where are you getting that number from? I don’t think I’ve ever seen an alcoholic beverage with that low of a percentage
It’s apparently not white claws, but 2.5s absolutely exist
Mango juice
Mmm yeah. Well, back to it then
they’re…
they’re not?
Newp! Alcoholic seltzer!
Bet he’s been having a very good work time though.
