Today, the water was shut off, so I had to wash down my anti convulsants, anti depressants and sleep aids with an old, flat, non-alcoholic beer from the night before. I don't think I've ever had a more mentally dysfunctional cocktail. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after a week of being tired and depressed, I realized my bottles for anti-depressants and muscle relaxants had gotten switched around. FML
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
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, out of partying reflex, I downed Communion wine like a vodka shot. FML
Today, I got sick of my flatmate stealing my food so I decided to sabotage a leftover pizza with laxatives. I came back home later in the evening after a night of heavy drinking. Guess what I had to eat in my drunken stupor. FML
Today, I realized that mixing alcohol with my medication causes me to lose my memory. I went to see my favorite band in concert last night and I can't remember a single song they played. FML
Today, my apartment management notified me that my water was going to be shut off all day so they could fix the plumbing. I took a laxative last night. FML
Today, I woke up in the middle of the night because I was thirsty. In my groggy state, I grabbed the first bottle of liquid I could find, opened it, and took a sip. It was nail polish remover. FML
Today, I found myself sitting in the bathroom at work searching the internet for the alcohol and caloric content of cool mint Listerine. I now believe that I may have a problem. FML
Today, I was taking my morning pills. There had been a lot of fruit flies in my house lately. I grabbed a cup of water beside to sink to wash the pills down. As soon as I tasted the drink, I realized it was vinegar and dish soap used to trap the flies. I washed my pills down with dead flies. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Or, here's a thought, they could have actual medical issues that require the medication and makes leaving the house difficult. Which, gee, anti-convulsants are used to treat bipolar disorder, migraines, and... seizures. Which it's dangerous to leave the house by yourself if you have seizures because, gee, it'd be awful dangerous to be crossing the street and start having one. IF there were even any stores within walking distance that would still be open by the time OP got there. Also, there are in fact completely alcohol free beers. And, to be blunt, your assumption that OP is a drug addict because they didn't go get bottled water when there were context clues as to why that wasn't an option, is really rude and unnecessary.

as GhostFox stated...the OP is on the meds FOR A REASON! How do I know? He takes ANTI-CONSULTANTS which means he is MOST LIKELY EPILEPTIC. and YES there are some A-Cs that cause insomnia and severe depression. How do I know that? because I am Epileptic and take the EXACT SAME MEDS, outside the sleep aids as I take those ONLY AS NEEDED.

I didn't realize the water company shut down your local stores as well! A few problems: either you didn't take the opportunity to purchase bottled water during the day, or you have a serious issue abusing sleep aids. FYI, "non alcoholic" beer isn't truly non alcoholic (there must be under 0.5% alcohol by volume), so you're still susceptible to drug interaction with the booze. Oh, are you poor? Boo hoo, go to a park and fill a water bottle. YDI so much. 1 (800) 662-HELP if you are popping sleeping pills recreationally.

Depending on what time this happened, OP may not have been able to go to the store. Maybe he didn't know that the water was going to be shut off in advance so he could prepare for it. And how do you know he's abusing sleep aids? Maybe he has them for legitimate medical or psychological issues.

You should have taken your meds with straight vodka.

You deserve everything that happened 100% for using actual money on non-alcoholic beer.

I'm so glad the beer was non-alcoholic. Mixing medication with alcohol is a straight up no no.

Next time you should keep bottles of water handy just in case. Non-alcoholic beer still has a little bit of alcohol. It's the same idea as decaffeinated coffee. It might be only trace amounts, but considering the medications you're taking, it's probably not good to risk it ((not that you necessarily had a choice this time, though)).

There are 100% alcohol free beers.

Well, at least it was non-alcoholic. They do paste warnings on the bottles about mixing prescription meds with alcoholic beverages, because the alcohol increases the sedative effects of certain medications.

Juice? Bottled water? Milk? Pop? Any of those would have worked too...

Why would you even purchase non-alcoholic beer? Beer does not taste great to begin with, add that with being sober, and you've got yourself a pretty sad time.

Considering the list of meds he said, I'm assuming alcohol is contraindicated
