He added vodka to my beer

Just hoping for some opinions to how annoyed you would be about this. I can't work out how I feel about it.

Last night me and DH had a 'games night' in the kitchen with a few drinks.
Just to set the background - we never get any time together on our own really and having a young family etc our sex life has declined recently.
So, we made a point for last night after we had put DC to bed to have one of our games night for fun and to relax.

I had a few cans of beer and DH was drinking vodka. Later on, I went to the toilet and came back, had a swig of my lager and was like 'ew' that tastes wrong, it tastes like vodka!'

DH just looked at me with a puzzled look while I was trying to work out why it tasted wrong. I then asked him a few times, 'did you put vodka in my drink?' and he said no. I then asked him to taste it, and he shrugged and said 'just tastes like warm beer to me'

I went on about it a bit more and asked a couple more times before he finally did a little laugh and fessed up it was him. He said at one point ''I didn't put that much in, didn't think you would notice''

So, how would you feel about this, angry or just a childish prank?

Thanks

I think this is your "mask slipped" moment, OP.
He was too practiced and resolute in his long denial of having put anything in there. He's probably done this (to others) before, but as you said, hadn't really had a chance to do to you. Was drinking his idea?

No, it was all my idea and I asked him to pick some drinks up on Friday.

I haven't spoken to him today about it at all as I don't think there's much point. He will only be defensive and I don't want his defensive protestations to muddy the waters while I think about this clearly.

Fine if he had owned up straight away, annoyed that he had lied to me. I like a drink, very much, but I like to be in control of what I choose to drink. I like to know how much I've had. No decent person takes that away from you. It's just wrong to do it. Whatever his intentions were, whether he really is just an immature dick who would find it hilarious if you got much drunker than you were intending or a calculating man who wanted you incapacitated to pressure you into something he doesn't expect to get consent for otherwise... his behaviour is just wrong. Wrong, disrespectful, dangerous, an assault and indicative of a lack of care for your wellbeing. That might sound a bit ott and pompous but I absolutely hate this sort of thing.

Well, I had an ex buy me doubles all night at the bar once instead of the singles I requested/expected ( this was 20 years ago), similar to you I was really unhappy and unsettled when I found out afterwards.

I ended up being really drunk and falling down the stairs actually. I think my ex was stupid and selfish ( and he is my ex so...) , but he said he did it so I would relax and for me to have a good time and I did believe him. I don't think there was a darker intention in that case...... What are your instincts telling you?
