The N/A test group behaved more like like the drunk group than the water group, (if I remember correctly) to the point of stumbling and failing sobriety tests.

After having non-alcoholic drinks.

The point being, I’ll probably get arrested for drunk and disorderly, stumbling down State Ave., after having one of those teas.
