TIFU by drinking a fruitshake tifu

So this happened last week. I'm currently traveling, and couch surfing quite a bit along the way. (If anyone isn't familiar with that, it's a website that links you up with people who are willing to let you sleep on their couch). At the moment I'm in Thailand, and found someone who accepted me to stay. We do our usual meet and greet, grab some dinner, and head back to the apt for the night. All is going great. After sitting at the kitchen table to chill for a bit, the host (let's call him Tom) goes to his refrigerator and asks if I want a fruit shake. I think, sure why not?! It's hot out and fruit shakes are really common in the area. So Tom sets a pre made one on the table in front of me, tells me to take a taste, and briefly walks away (maybe 90 seconds). It tastes really good and I'm thirsty, so naturally I slurp the whole thing down immediately. When he gets back to the kitchen, Tom just kinda gave me a look for a second. He sat down and said slowly, "Um, you do know that was a shroomshake, right?"

My level of chill went from 10 to 0 reaaaal fast. If it's not obvious enough what a shroomshake is, yes..it's a shake with "shrooms"! Now, I'm not against shrooms or anything, but as someone who had never tried them, being in a strangers living room while unknowingly taking them was not my ideal first experience! I'll spare the details of the trip, but let's say that after being super panicky for about an hour I was able to keep it cool and even have some fun with it :P. And now that it's a week later I can laugh at the situation. Nothing malicious on Tom's part, as he genuinely thought I knew!
