Always adopt the scientific model “Is it safe?”
I remember a classmate of mine and his experience.
His mother, got his water bottle ready for school when he was like 6-7, but instead of water she filled it with raki.
The dude played football in recess and being parched after it, he picked the bottle up and swallowed 3 mouthfulls of it before realizing it was raki.
Obviously he got drunk instantly, the teachers called her and they took him to a hospital for a check-up but thankfully he was ok.
But yeah, this bottle is a trap, especially at 3AM when you don’t think or see and just want gurgle water.
That’s worse than my friend’s experience. Someone visited her early in the morning, and in her half-awake state she made him a frappé with raki. There’s another experience in my family, where we expected tsipouro but toasted with holy water instead.

This is hilarious.
I had similar experience in a non-greek country. Woke up, grabbed a bottle of water… but it wasn’t water, it was… palinka (strong spirit made from fruits)
