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

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!

So to prevent alcohol poisoning she wants you to get high blood pressure and suffer from severe dehydration?

Australian legal age is 18, as is in the UK. One glass of alcohol is not going to kill you (unless you have an intolerance to alcohol that causes you to be unable to process it, and even then it's a big stretch). The mother overreacted by forcing it back out like that, itd cause more damage that way

actually, "Drinking at home It is not illegal for a person under 18 to drink alcohol at home or at a friend’s house. Parents can choose to give young people some of their own alcohol when at home." which just makes it worse...

Could that much salt water not damage your insides in some way? Why did you not just say no?

Your mom is nuts. Drinking that much salt can be hazardous because it can alter your electrolite balance and create osmotical pressure problems. You were lucky with just vomiting because you could have lost your conciousness, or in a more severe case, get a nice haemolysis and liver failure.

I'm assuming you meant juice cocktail not just a cocktail OP if not you're kind of retarded and wtf is up with your mom she sounds batshit nuts. Also did she physically force you to drink saltwater? And doesn't she know that is potentially more dangerous than the small amount of alcohol.
