High Noon announced a recall of vodka seltzer drinks that it says were mislabeled as Celsius energy drinks, according to a posting on the US Food and Drug Administration’s website.

    Yikes. That fuckup could trigger a relapse or kick someone off a transplant list. Accidentally giving someone alcohol is no joke.

      It would have to be intentional unless the liqour stores are splitting cases up. The packaging was marked correctly.

      I would be furious. I’m very proud of my sobriety and worked hard to get it. I have nightmares from time to time where I’m tricked or accidentally drink alcohol. I don’t event want a sip. This would mess with me badly.

          This is very true. And if anyone wants it, I learned that the secret is to embrace the boredom. Allow the boredom to become extreme. Wallow in it and feel it. Better than drowning oneself in a constant stream of stimulation and intoxication, eternally striving to Never Be Bored.

      I have to wonder what kind of person is waiting for a kidney and pounding back energy drinks.

        Fair point. You probably want to be avoiding energy drinks if you’re on a transplant list. Drink water.

        That said, people do weird shit while waiting around for something like a liver, and a lot of those folks get urine and blood tests for alcohol to remain on the list.
