People complained of dizziness, headaches, and confusion. Some felt lightheaded after drinking tap water. At first, doctors suspected illness or contamination. Then someone noticed something else.
The water tasted wrong.
Investigators traced the problem to a nearby
distillery. Alcohol waste had leaked into the town’s water system, slowly
intoxicating residents who did not know what they were drinking.
City officials shut down the water supply and
flushed the system. Within days, the symptoms disappeared.
No celebration followed. No jokes.
For a moment, an entire town had been drinking
alcohol by accident—proof that even everyday systems can fail in strange and
unexpected ways.
Jackson returned to normal.
But locals never forgot the week their water
made them drunk.
