Tales of Serpents and Second Chances - San Francisco Bay Times
Briefly

Carletta Andrews had a bizarre experience at Patron Mexican Restaurant when a baby snake landed in her margarita. Meanwhile, her coworker Rafa's realization of alcohol's negative impact led him to embrace sobriety without such theatrics. He humorously reflects on the absurdities of social gatherings as a sober individual and has transitioned into a connoisseur of non-alcoholic beers, showcasing the varying paths and insights gained from their unique experiences with alcohol.
Andrews told reporters, describing what might be the worst garnish in culinary history. The snake, who seemingly was unimpressed with the establishment's mixology skills, proceeded to wrap itself around her straw— the serpentine equivalent of a drink review.
Rafa describes sobriety like a whiplash: a cold turkey approach to lucidity. Every social situation becomes a fascinating study when you're the only sober person in the room.
In his post-alcoholic renaissance, Rafa has become that most terrifying of creatures: the sober non-alcoholic beer connoisseur who has the wiring of a master mixologist.
