Fans Drank 'Tainted' Cocktails Outside Fiserv Forum and the Bucks Are Investigating
By Zack Jiang
For fans that can't afford playoff tickets, watching the game outside your favorite team's arena has become an increasingly viable tradition. However, several Milwaukee Bucks fans had their experiences ruined after reportedly being sold Moscow Mule cocktails that were, as the reporting maintains, "tainted."
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, multiple fans have said that were sold compromised Moscow Mules at a party tent outside of the Fiserv Forum this week. The team launched an investigation, and has reportedly set aside some of the drinks for further study.
An independent lab will verify these samples, as well as the Milwaukee police. All pre-batched cocktails like these will no longer be served around the venue.
The side effects of these allegedly spiked cocktails sound dangerous. Anna Neuberg was one of the fans that bought a tainted drink, and as a result, she reported dealing with memory loss that night.
"It all just happened so fast. It all just kind of went blurry," Neuberg said, "I figured I just hadn't eaten enough that day."
Hopefully, the Bucks can quickly figure out what caused this troubling issue. Milwaukee has plenty of reasons of to celebrate after beating the Raptors on Wednesday night; fans should be able to enjoy their vodka, ginger beer, and lime without fear of it compromising their health.
