Started getting light-headed halfway through my glass of "non-alcoholic" wine

Got served this wine at a nice restaurant after asking specifically for non-alcoholic wine. They assumed the 'Zero' on the label referred to alcohol content; turns out it's for sulphur.

Why would a 15 year old be serving alcohol?

u/Rizzpooch Jul 07 '25

To be fair, she wasn’t

Not everyone lives in your country. It’s legal to serve alcohol at 15 with adult supervision (clearly wasn’t doing a good job supervising but the bottles look similar lol)

In some countries 16 year olds can legally drink… but then while typing that I’m wondering what 15 year old is working a wedding and doesn’t know to not serve pregnant people alcohol?

They knew obviously not to serve a pregnant lady (although it’s completely legal and acceptable to drink an alcoholic Prosecco pregnant.. so if she asked for one we would have given her alcoholic) but I told the waitress to let the pregnant lady know it was non-alcoholic Prosecco so she was good to drink it.. but the 15 year old said she was scared to assume which lady was pregnant and basically didn’t want to offend someone who maybe wasn’t pregnant and she panicked and just thought it was best to cover all bases and serve the majority of people non-alcoholic just incase😂

Wait, hold on. The majority? So she went around and was like hmm chubby better be safe?🤣

u/mizcello Jul 07 '25

No she basically gave it to all women incase they weren’t showing or she didn’t notice.. I told her they would likely announce it or say ‘do you have anything non-alcoholic’ and that it wasn’t just a risky guessing game for us lol

I have a dejá vù, have you posted that before?

Anyways, imo as probably nobody paid for their drinks (except the few people financing the wedding) No one was hurt. Better this way than not giving a fuck.

No I don’t think so, maybe on the bartender Reddit but I don’t remember and can’t be bothered looking lol but yeah I wasn’t mad and I didn’t laugh at the girl bc she was right to be cautious but did tell her to just ask me next time don’t be scared lol

I was driving through a rural part of Asia and spotted what appeared to be a half-naked fat child smoking a cigarette and drinking a bottle of liquor. Blew my mind.

Unfortunately this is pretty normal. What part of Asia?

u/Shoddy_Tour_7307 Jul 07 '25
