Question : I accidentally had a gulp of orange soda that tasted funny - turns out it had Captain XXXXXXX in it, but not a lot at all. I took a percocet about 2.5 hours later because I broke my leg this weekend. Normally I don't drink any alcohol and I feel fine, just worn out from the whole weekend of doctors and whatnot.

I feel ok just normal-tired and I'm perfectly lucid and cognizant - can I chalk this up to a silly mistake?
