Would you find this out of order or just a harmless joke?

I don't drink at all and haven't for years, not because of any alcohol issues, I just react badly to alcohol, can't tolerate a lot and hate being hungover.
Anyway my partner does and I met him and his friend in a bar this week. My partner just had a pint of orange juice which is unusual for him. I asked if it was just orange, he said yes, and told me to finish it as he didn't want the last bit.

I took a drink of it and immediately realised it was beer. They both burst out laughing and had been in on it. I just laughed but looking back do you think this was a bit of a dick move, or was I just being sensitive?

It's a harmless joke.

Also how the heck did you not see this was beer, it tends to be a different colour to orange juice to start with?

I'm sorry I don't think it's a big deal
You don't mess with people's drinks or food.
I suffer from allergies and find your attitude frankly scary, you don't get to decide what you think should go in people's bodies!
Even if you think it's just because they're being precious, or don't like the effect or whatever.
That is THEIR CHOICE.
Not yours.

Allergies are a different ball game though

So not comparable at all
