A 12-year-old got drunk on a “virgin” drink at an Outback Steakhouse after staff accidentally laced him with alcohol.

Mekyle Cureton and her grandmother, Yolanda Collins, are regulars at the Livonia, Michigan, outback, visiting several times a month. He said Fox 2 that his favorite order is a virgin strawberry daiquiri. But during a recent tear, something was wrong.

“It didn’t taste like the other times,” Cureton said. “It didn’t taste normal.”

After taking a few sips of the drink, Cureton said he began to feel ill.

“I started getting a headache when I was leaving and my heart started racing while I was drinking it,” Mekyle added.

The child was taken to the hospital, where doctors helped him remove the alcohol from his system. However, this left Mekyle with a nasty hangover, her first, at age 12.

Collins took a sip of the drink to see if there was indeed alcohol in it, but couldn’t tell because she wasn’t a drinker herself.

“We don’t drink, so we couldn’t tell if there was alcohol in it or not,” Collins told the outlet.

“After that, he started letting us know that his heart was racing.”

She reported the waiter, who then expressed his concerns to the bartender. The bartender admitted he accidentally made the frozen drink with alcohol.

“It was supposed to be a blank daiquiri, but it says daiquiri,” Collins told Fox 2, receipt in hand.

The restaurant staff apologized to the customers and prepared their meals for them.

The sixth grader was taken to the hospital where doctors could do nothing but give him Tylenol and told him to sleep. He had a hangover the next day.

“The diagnosis was accidental alcohol exposure and accidental ingestion,” Collins said. “I didn’t want him to have an alcoholic experience like that.”
