A man recovering from an alcohol addiction is criticizing a Costco after he purchased a case of energy drinks which, he said, included cans of liquor.
When his wife asked for an energy drink earlier this week, he did not realize that the can he pulled out from the cardboard box was a Coors Seltzer –a vodka beverage.When he realized the drink was alcoholic, Steve said, he and his wife ran to his truck to look at the box. In the pack they found a pair of Steamworks beers, a White Claw hard seltzer, a Red Bull and several other flavoured Coors Seltzers.
Since his wife does not drink alcohol either, they will give away the liquor cans to their friends, he said."It's a minimal cost, but the repercussions are the biggest problem," he said."I don't care about the fuc*ing 20 bucks it was, but I mean, the repercussions of having alcohol in a box that wasn't supposed to have alcohol could have gone to anyone, kids or teenagers, like people like myself… that's the biggest problem.
Steve shared photos of the box, which seemed to be resealed with a strip of green painter's tape, which he said he didn't notice at the time of purchase. He suggests a Costco customer return the box with random drinks.
