Today, my husband and I threw a party with non-alcoholic wine. No one acted wasted, until in the last hour my grandmother started slurring her words and slumping. We thought she was joking, until a doctor at the party confirmed she was having a stroke. FML
Aggressive tells us more.

Hello everyone. She's doing very well now! The doctors at the hospital told us it was only a minor stroke luckily. We were extremely lucky to have a doctor at the house indeed. And sorry to hear about your loss #70.:(

Lucky a dr at the party lucky the stroke was witnessed, lucky there was no alcohol to mask symptoms or delay awareness

Well.. Alcohol DOES thin the blood, and strokes are caused by blood clots that block the flow of oxygen to the brain. So in a way, alcohol could have prevented the stroke. (But all joking aside, you're right.)

Glad to hear she got proper care and is doing well. My grandmother had a stroke a few years ago, and because her caretaker would not listen to my sister, who noticed her symptoms over the phone, it did major damage and she ended up staying in a care facility for the last two years of her life.

Non alcoholic wine? Is that not juice?

Non alcoholic wine is wine that has not been fermented. The fermenting process is what creates the alcohol sugars. Non alcoholic wine still goes through the same processing as regular wine except for fermenting. I'm not a fan of the choices of non alcoholic wine as far as flavors go, but some people who may want wine but are avoiding alcohol may find the taste agreeable.

At my parents wedding, they also had non-alcoholic champagne, my great uncle acted extremely drunk until he was told there was no alcohol in it, he was mad the rest of the night.

Placebo effect can be extremely powerful. It's really interesting how that works. Tell your uncle he had a totally normal response- most people will begin to act drunk in that situation, if they don't know that their drink is non alcoholic :P
