Today, my little sister opened a lemonade stand in front of our house. Surprisingly, she actually had a lot of customers, all kids. Two hours or so later, some parents came back complaining and threatening to sue my family. Turns out that what we thought was lemonade was actually beer. FML

Okay, I'm glad this FML got published. Thanks, guys! However, looks like I have some questions to answer. Firstly, my sister is almost eleven. The day before, we went shopping, and dad bought foir bottles of beer for a game he was going to watch in two days with his friends. My sister took the bottles and put the beer in cups, it totally looked like lemonade. She even put some lemons next to them! Yes, it was light beer, fortunately. But still alcohol. The kids told their mums the juice tasted funny, so they took a sip and figured out what it actually was. In the end, my sister's excuse was that she knew lemonade wouldn't have been successful anyway.

I'd be pissed off if I was one of the parents, but honestly, that's hilarious and I doubt one glass would have done much harm

All "lemonade" stands are really beer here in Ireland, it's not the same everywhere else?

"She knew that lemonade wouldn't be as successful". That's just brilliant. I love it when the OP responds and gives their FML a follow up.

Well OP, I can see your sister being a CEO of a company when she gets older. She's starting young!

Fortunately it was light beer..? Really? It's still beer, with the same alcohol content as its regular counterpart.

Accurately light beer ussually has about 1% less alcohol the full strength

I don't quite know why people are saying she was a genius. True it was in a way I won't deny that, but wasn't she doing good because the customers thought they were buying lemonade? I highly doubt kids knew she was selling beer already

Your sister is on the fast track to success, just make sure she watches who she sells to.

You do realize light beer has the same alcohol content as dark beer, right?

Your sis has a great sense of humor, but not a very firm grasp on right and wrong.

I'm surprised the kids even drank it. My cousin accidently drank a sip of beer at a wedding last year and cried because it was so gross to her.

Beer is an acquired taste. In other words, it's disgusting but if you force it down enough times, you eventually get used to it. Even vodka tastes better...

As true as that is, I doubt the kids had acquired the taste by the first sip..
