Today, while serving drinks at work to a group of people getting tipsy on wine, I joked about it being obvious who the designated driver was to the only gentleman who'd been religiously sticking to Coke all night. He coldly informed me that he was a recovering alcoholic. FML

While I agree that you need to be careful how you joke with customers, in this context I don't find OP's comment that uncalled for.. It is normal to try to build up a good rapport with customers, because they are more likely to come back, and in a casual bar/restaurant this would be pretty common. Also you wouldn't really expect a recovering alcoholic to surround himself with people drinking a lot of wine. If it was that big of a deal for him why is he putting himself in that situation to begin with? Regardless, don't worry about it OP, this shit happens and the world needs to lighten up a bit :P

He should have taken it as a compliment because it meant that he was obviously not giving in to temptation but I also agree with #1

Eh he's being touchy. He should be proud to say he's resisting.

How are you meant to know? Fair play to you for attempting to be friendly, OP.

That's his own fault, he chose to go to a bar with his friends. And honestly, how could you have possibly known that. FYL, but definitely not YDI.
