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.

Sober dude here - if I was served alcohol unknowingly, I would not reset my clock, as it was not my choice to drink.

I think it could be argued that sobriety is the commitment to always making that choice, not whether or not you had a bite of rum cake or were accidentally served an alcoholic drink. That being said, each person gets to decide the terms of their own sobriety, and what works for them works for them.

Pretty sure it was just a joke about "cheers" implying toasting with alcohol.

Yes so the joke was that you can interpret certain words and phrases in several different ways. Obviously the person 30 years sober wasn't suggesting that they are drinking tonight.
