Have you ever drank (drunk? dranken?) something by mistake?

[bertha katzenengel]

Last night I reached for a Diet IBC root beer. Took a swallow and found I'd opened a Rolling Rock. I like Rolling Rock but it wasn't pleasant, having been expecting root beer.

You?

[Spacemom]

1. Not a drink

but I did eat cat food by mistake. I came home from school one day and there was a plate of "something" on the counter. I thought my mom had fixed dinner early. Took a nibble. Ick.

[bertha katzenengel]

8. Did you start meowing?

;)

[ceile]

2. Tobacco spit.

Not me, but my ex did. A friend of ours was a "chewer" and used a beer bottle to spit in. My ex picked it up thinking it was his....he didn't make it to the kitchen sick before spewing.
:puke:

[IndianaJones]

4. thats horrible. nt.

[Throd]

20. So much for my appetite

[CreekDog]

21. that was an anti-tobacco ad in California

guy and a girl are at the movies, guy is spitting into a bottle, she is eating popcorn and gets thirsty, then she drinks from the bottle and then, as if seeing something in a scary movie, there is a lot of shrieking.

[sasquatch]

24. I used to be a "chewer" too

Beechnut was my poison.

[Shine]

3. This is weird, but when I was about 3 or 4 I drank a bunch of Pepto Bismol

my mom had to give me that keopectate (sp?) shit that helps you to throw up. I have a vivid memory of her holding my little body over the kitchen sink and hurling uncontrollably. :puke:

Not fun.

:hi: long time no see, bertha! :hug: Hope all's well with you and the mrs.... :loveya:

[bertha katzenengel]

5. syrup of ipecac?

poor baby :(

Good to see you, Shine. I'm home nursing Mrs. V., who broke her wrist last night. :(

Are you well? :hug:

[Shine]

9. Poor Mrs V!

sorry to hear about her broken wrist. That sucks. How did it happen, I wonder? That must be an interesting story.

I've never broken a bone in my body (knock on wood) but I did badly sprain my ankle once when I was preggers and fell down a couple o' stairs. Shit, that was scary! I remember hearing this sickening popping noise and feeling excruciating pain. I guess, big picture, I was lucky cuz the baby was fine and I didn't break anything.

Life is good here. We're finally getting some much-needed rain here, which is great. The kids are growin' like weeds and ShineBoy has been driving me crazy. He's 14 and grounded right now. You get the picture. :eyes: I feel behind on the whole holiday thing and I'm REALLY into cutting back this year.

I also feel out of shape and overweight these days, but I'm workin' on it. blah, blah, blah...

:hug:

[bertha katzenengel]

11. sprained ankle is bad enough, but preggers?

talk about adding discomfort to discomfort

:hug: I hope to be around more. See ya 'round :)

[_testify_]

6. Ammonia.

Don't ask.

[bertha katzenengel]

7. *gasp*

:hug: pobrecita

[_testify_]

13. Thankfully it was only one swallow, and I knew what to do

but who the hell puts ammonia in a seltzer water bottle and leaves it on top of the fridge? My brother, that's who.

[Omphaloskepsis]

10. Someone thought my beer was empty (it was still full).

They put out their cigarette in my beer. I drank the butt. And by drank I mean, "It made it halfway down and I started vomiting all over the place."

[bertha katzenengel]

12. ugh

:hug:

[Omphaloskepsis]

14. The good thing is..

It is like a prostate exam.. It is only terrifying the first time.

[CreekDog]

22. speak for yourself!

i am too young to have gotten one of those, but I did. I have PTSD from it.

[Highway61]

15. That is GROSS

That happened to me 2 months ago. Man, was I grossed out.....and pissed

[unpossibles]

16. yes, but it wasn't an accident

in high school, this kid I worked with at the grocery store tried to kill me. Seriously.

In addition to almost running me off the road a couple of times (on accident allegedly), he put some industrial strength floor cleaner/degreaser in my can of Dr. Pepper "as a joke" and watched as I took a swig.

Luckily I immediately tasted something strange so did not swallow it, and spit it out right away. But it still made me almost puke and spit up bubbles for a while. It was at that point that I questioned the other "accidents" and "jokes."

[CreekDog]

23. those kids, hahahahahaha

attempted murder :rofl:

ah youth.

[Lyric]

17. The worst was when I was 4 years old

I went out to the kitchen to get a drink of water in the middle of the night. Mom had left a cup sitting on the counter, and when I picked it up, it looked like water, so I took a big drink of it.

It wasn't water--it was used cooking oil that she had poured off of whatever she'd been cooking that night. I gagged and started crying and yelling--woke the whole house up. She was careful to always leave me a cup of water on the bathroom counter after that.

[sazemisery]

18. Here's a good one for ya

Many years ago, our first child was born. After I went back to work, I would express milk and put it in 1/2 pint cream containers 'cause the wax cartons kept the light out, etc. Mrsazemisery rarely drinks milk at all but does have cream with his coffee.

I don't have to finish the story do I?

[Throd]

19. I accidentally drank my own pee

At least it was mine

[CreekDog]

26. it seems like that kinda thing needs explanation

why in the hell am i asking for that?

[Throd]

29. An honest, albeit drunken, mistake

One night me and a few buddies plowed through a case of white wine. For the moment it seemed like a good idea to urinate into one of the empty bottles because the 30 foot hike to the bathroom was just too damn far. The following morning I staggered downstairs with a massive hangover and was glad to see there was a little "hair of the dog" left to take the edge off. Only after taking a healthy swig did I remember my antics from the previous night. At the time I just took it in stride as the cost of doing business as a full time hammerhead.

[CreekDog]

32. that's a Dumb and Dumber moment (nt)

[Taverner]

25. I reached for a pepsi and after drinking it, I found it to be copenhagen spit

As in, one of my roomates spitoon <HURL!>

[CreekDog]

27. i drank water out of a shaving mug

it was the middle of the night and i got thirsty. i was a little kid, i thought it was for water.

:puke:

[Gormy Cuss]

28. No, but I put an Airborne tablet in my mouth rather than in the glass of water.

It's very similar to the sensation of putting an Alka-Seltzer in your mouth but with a citric flavoring added. Yech.

[blockhead]

30. a minnow while ice fishing,

after that I always brought my beer with me when I left the fishhouse.

[Dora]

31. Bong water.

Yes, indeed. It had been camouflaged by a 7-11 Big Gulp cup. Those bastards.

[hippywife]

33. Yes,

It was summer and husband walked up with something in a nice frosty glass of ice. I reached out my hand and he gave it to me. I took a sip and it was very strong, black iced coffee. Bleck! He knew I wouldn't like it and didn't tell me what it was ahead of time. We hadn't been married long at the time but I knew he didn't drink colas. Stupid me. I should have known better than this but I wasn't thinking at the time.

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. Every now and again I'll drink out of my secretary's coffee mug if I'm not paying attention.

[SPKrazy]

35. hells yes

picked up a beer can thinking it was mine and i had been used as a spittoon :puke:

oh i didn't need to think about that dammit :grr:

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[Kucinich4America]

36. Came real close to drinking stove oil once

I was about 2 years old. For some stupid reason, my grandfather had the stuff sitting around in a Coke bottle. So naturally, I picked it up, and almost downed the thing, before my mom caught me at the last second. Then she ripped grandpa a new asshole for being so careless.

[Ivan Sputnik]

37. I took a sip of cleaning fluid once

Someone had left it in the refrigerator, for some stupid reason -- I guess they weren't finished cleaning, or something. It didn't kill me, just tasted vile.

[Tektonik]

38. I was five and at a party at my neighbors along with my neighbors

There were lots of styrofoam cups on the counters and there was SUPPOSED to be coke in the one I grabbed, but it was champagne, my poor poor taste buds :cry:

[undeterred]

39. No, but last night I started brushing my teeth with conditioner

that you're supposed to use after coloring your hair. It tasted awful and its probably not good for you either but I'm still alive.

[Adsos Letter]

40. I once drank a rather large bottle of MD 20/20...

which was recognized as a BIG mistake, after-the-fact...

[Critters2]

41. When we were kids, my sister used to offer to bring me a coke,

and instead get me Dr. Pepper, which I hate :puke:. I fell for this all the damn time! She was like Lucy with a football. And I was her Charlie Brown.

[bertha katzenengel]

42. So far the winner is tobacco spit.

:puke:

[TK421]

43. All the time!!!! All the time, and every time is an adventure, let me tell you...

:toast:

[unsavedtrash]

44. turned up a pitcher of moonshine when I thought it was water.

Happened when I was very young.
All us kids running around during a family reunion and I got thirsty.
Damn. Damn.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

45. Yeah

I was at Steak N Ale (or as we called it, Ache N Stale) standing at the bar, talking to some friends. I'd placed my drink, a whisky sour IIRC on the bar behind me and I reached for it without looking and took a sip. Well, the bartender seems to have been keeping the cocktail onions in the same kind of glass and ... yuck

[SPKrazy]

46. I also accidentally

drank some milk that had gone to casein in a glass that my son had left out


:eyes:

:puke:

[Roon]

47. We were playing a game of quarters

And we would actually drink from the cup of beer that the quarter landed in. (Gross, I know, but we were kids). Anyway, it was my turn to chug and I accidentally swallowed the quarter. I thought I was never going to live that one down.

[FloridaJudy]

48. I once accidently took a big gulp of bong water

Someone had poured in a glass. I thought it was my iced tea. :puke:

I was terrified I'd get pulled for a random drug test after that. And I didn't even get high. :cry:
