If a 12 oz can at 5% ABV once per day makes you feel liver pain, there's probably something wrong with your liver, and maybe the drinking life isn't for you.

I did the same almost, bought weird new energy drinks, was about to drink one at work, looked at the can better, 5,5% alcohol. Whoops.
Drank it on the drive home instead, naturally
They have those weed waters now too. I love them but wouldn't want someone to get that by mistake
Was it the Monster Beast Unleashed?
Why the fuck are you drinking alcohol and driving?
If god didn't want us to drink and drive then why'd he invent those nifty beer can hats?
Don't even have to stop driving to top up. I couldn't find a picture for the one I've seen with bait, liquor, and ammo sold in the drivethru.
These were also a thing in Australia about 15 years ago.
they are still very much a thing in Australia, but we also have open container laws in vehicles. Don’t drink and drive fuckwits (not talking about you op)

Been to the Myers a few times, nice place, haven't used the drive through though.
And this
Dang! If I still talked to my parents I’d have just found the perfect Christmas present!
If they get past a 0.07 with 1 white claw, I envy their lack of tolerance induced financial burdens and I hope they have a great time where nobody gets hurt but I also hope they know their limit and never drink and drive because we all share the road and a drunk driver probably won't end up killing the person who doesn't understand that the left lane is for crime that really ruins the buzz on my drive home.

For the non-Americans in the audience, what is White Claws?
A can of carbonated water with a shot of vodka in it.
Just as much flavour as a typical flavoured carbonated water too
Just to clarify at least original White Claw gets its alcohol from fermented sugar. It’s basically a gluten free clear beer with no hops and fruit flavor added.
High Noon and anything labeled Vodka soda use actual distilled spirit. Those are more expensive and taste better, especially after a few.
It actually says "beer" in small print on the can since it is according to the legal/regulatory definition.
Depends on the state, no? Many states will tax distilled spirits higher than just fermented beverages, even if the end product is essentially just a 5% 12oz can.
We need these laws to change, imo.

Never been ID’ed for an energy drink.
I never got ID'd buying Sparks (basically four loko before four loko was cool). The places I went that had it, stocked it with the RedBull and it only says it has alcohol in it in the smallest of print. I was getting that shit when I was still just 18.
im rarely id'd for beer...
Be glad you don't live in the UK then. You have to be able to prove that you're over 16, or 18 - I forget which. Luckily I don't have to worry about that being 27, but it does get annoying when I forget about it and take a monster through the self checkouts. Normally I have to wait maybe 5 minutes for the overworked employee to notice me and authorize the purchase.
Oi m8? You got a loicense for that monsta?
They did this in Sweden too. Then people stopped buying energy drinks, because most people self checkout and you had to wait for an employee to come check that you are an adult. And swedes being swedes, they would rather die than go through that.
Now they have a permanent employee checking from afar with a tablet, approving people without any intervention or interruption. I wouldnt be surprised if the energy drink brands partially pay for them.
