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!

Seriously, you more than deserve that. I drank half a glass (125ml) of pure Rakia (40% alc.) when I was 8 and didn't tell my parent. You should be more than ashamed of yourself for not having the balls to keep quiet about it. And how in hell did you not realize it was alcoholic.....seriously?!

Dude. It was just a little. Unless your a lighter weight than a baloon youll be fine. Your mamas Just makin sure nothin happens to her little boy.

In the UK u can legally drink at 18

If your cocktail was above about 15% alcohol there is no way you could have mistaken it for a "mocktail" (alcohol free). You also only had a small glass. You might consider not driving for a couple of hours since you don't know the strength but that's as far as the risk of a few ml of alcohol goes for a healthy adult (which we have no reason to assume you are not). Taking too much salt is probably more of a health risk than the alcohol. Your mother is deranged.

Vomit level salt water is worse for you than a cocktail but ydi for obeying.

Dude! Your mother should know better - you're NOT supposed to induce vomiting without being instructed to do so by a poison control center. Whether it's alcohol or otherwise, regardless of age, her overprotectiveness is not only senseless, it could be FATAL in some situations!!!

19? Drinking age is 21. She is in the right. Not.
