A man from British Columbia ingested a bottle of Setlla Artois with a higher concentration of ethanol, and is now seeing compensation with an apology from Lebatt Brewing for the hardship of throwing up and “gasping for air.”

It’s called doing a shot of alcohol, dimwit. Let me get this straight, you got a highly concentrated bottle of liquor and you’re complaining? Also, please tell me you’ve never thrown up because of drinking booze — with a straight face — because, otherwise, you have no sympathy from me.

Compensation? If it was methyl alcohol, you’d get compensation, but we’re talking ingestable, yet still poisonous, ethyl alcohol. Also, you’d have to prove in court you wouldn’t have thrown up anyways. Lebatt should just ignore this special litigant because quite frankly no self-respecting Canadian court would ever award damages. “I’m hurt because I drank more alcohol than I planned (at one time)” really doesn’t ring to the tune of compensation.
