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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was babysitting a 9-year-old kid, when she got thirsty and asked for a drink. All I could find was some kind of Mexican fruit drink, but I didn't realize until too late that it was actually hard liquor. I had to scrub her mouth out with toothpaste and put her to bed to cover it all up. FML
Today, I was at home, my mom came and saw me holding what she thought was a glass of beer. She took the glass, threw it and slapped me for drinking it. I was drinking Apple Juice. FML
Today, my roommate had to ask to check if I was drinking water instead of alcohol. Twice. Then she 'suggested' that I 'might' be an alcoholic. I'm only 21. FML
Today, at dinner, I accidentally let it slip that I'd taken a small sip of alcohol a few years ago and hated it. My extremely strict parents are now trying to get me into rehab. FML
Today, I was feeling sick and ended up throwing up as soon as I got home. My mother's first question was an accusatory, "What have you been drinking?" I was returning from the AA meeting I have been attending for over a month. I go because I'm afraid I'll become an alcoholic like her. FML
Today, my mum got upset with me for having my first hangover ever after being of legal drinking age for over 6 years. She is a closet alcoholic in denial who hides red wine bottles around the house. FML
Today, I confronted my mom about her drinking problems. After I blurted everything out, she completely denied it. She did this as she was drinking a huge cup full of vodka. FML
Today, I poured out a glass of apple juice to drink. I threw out a beer can from earlier, and my mom thought I was drinking alcohol, not juice. She scolded me, until I made her physically taste the juice. FML
Today, after a big house party the night before, I woke up with a dry mouth and a pounding hangover. I took a swig from a cup I'd left on my bedside table the night before, thinking it was water. Nope; it was vodka. FML
Today, my dad was making drinks for my mom and himself, so I asked him to make me some coffee too. When he brought me my drink, I took a sip, and realized he'd poured salt in it. As I gagged, he muttered, "Next time, make it yourself." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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?!

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.

That's really dumb. I guess forced vomiting also works as punishment though
