Today, I helped myself to a small glass of cocktail from the fridge, not realising it was alcoholic. I told my mom what happened. She made me drink salty water until I vomited so I wouldn't get "alcohol poisoning". I'm 19. FML

Why would you tell your mom?

Thank god your mother was there to save you from the evils of a sip of Satan's Brew! Just imagine, if she hadn't been there, you would have surely succumbed to the poison and the drunken hilarity that would have inevitably ensued!

That's why you don't tell your overprotective mom anything that doesn't involve children's shows and you wrapped in bubblewrap for safety.

Have you ever had a good look at kids shows and movies? Take scooby doo for example, shaggy is just a stoner who talks to dogs and always has the munches, land before time, there's a dinosaur who's forever smiling with blood shot eyes, another stoner

Google what, exactly, your comment is incredibly open-ended and doesn't actually give any advice.

Saltwater to prevent alcohol poisoning?!? That's the first time I've ever heard such a thing

I think the salt water was meant to induce vomiting which was meant to prevent the alcohol poisoning. Not that I'm defending dear old mum here, but that's how I interpreted it.

I thought liquid charcoal prevents alcohol poisoning.

I guess it makes sense with inducing vomiting, but that I had never heard of before (inducing vomiting and all)

The salt is worse for your body than one alcoholic drink

If you believe that, does that mean you don't eat anything with salt in it?

Of course not, but if you eat to much salt you can get a heart attack

I usually make it a point not reply to the comments of lesser minded people but in your case 44, I think I'll make an exception. Alcohol poisoning is a result of your P450 enzymes not being able to convert the ethanol into acetate. I tried to put it in simple words so that even you may understand them...

Juice cocktails aren't alcoholic. It's called a cocktail because it isn't 100% fruit juice.

You're correct. I believe "cocktail" means mixed drink. This means it /could have/ alcohol in it or just be a blend of juices.(:

Aren't non alcoholic ones called mocktails?
