Why are you drinking alcohol in the first place

He must be up to something if he's taking it personal

Pay close attention to what I am about to tell you. Too many people giving you advices here are just mere kids with smart phones and cheap data. They have not had any serious experience with life.
We do not know the kind of friend you are with this person. He might probably had Zero intention of harming you. If he wanted to poison you, he won't open your beer and pour it to the glass for you. It would have been good if you asked him to take a sip from it but you did not. People are saying here that he should have just grabbed the beer and drink it first, depending on the type of friendship two of you have, he may not have the gut to take and drink the beer unless you ask him to do so. Since you did not ask him to sip it, let's not just conclude that he wanted to poison you. His overreacting and blocking you may have been as a result of you not trusting him. Unfortunately he has made the mistake of blocking you out of anger.

My point here is that nairaland can only tell you what you want to hear.
Lastly, you did well by not drinking the beer. I would do the same

Werey so na you be elder.

its still thesame..

sonofsteven:
Even for hood, I never for once fear my guys wey we dey role.... everything depends on the kind friends you have

True talk

You did the right thing

That he had to pour it is even more suspicious. If it is just because of the opener, he would have just open it but not pour it in a cup. It is easier to add poison in a cup of drink than in a bottle of drink without it pouring on the table.

The fact that he didn't even offer to drink the opened beer while you order for another shows he is up to something.

@OP

E be like say you have never heard of the American homosexual serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

He would poison the drinks of his male victims,they would lose consciousness,he would r@pe them,chop them into pieces and...dinner is served

Your so-called "friend" was upto something untoward/nasty/despicable/rotten.

He is simply upset his plan failed.

Never apologize to anyone for being concerned about your personal safety/security.

afangide:

Na still the same thing! Nothing wrong with what he did. No take shame send yourself to early grave. Your policy is your policy, don't adjust it for anybody.

The person opened it suppose to drink in it before passing it to the owner that is the rule,if you help anybody open drinks in his absence,you have ask him to drink from it before you continue both of you violate the rules.

If i was your friend nd u do that to me,I will definitely cut u off,I won't even send u any text or call.

It's not everyone that wants to kill u

Common sense should have told you not to open and pour a drink that is a sealed bottle..
Common sense,alas ,is not common..

Beg him to unblock you
Then block him

One Igbo proverb says, "So that he won't think I'm afraid of him is why people eat poison"

Better safe than sorry

He should have drank it after you refused to take it, at least to clear the air.. You should have made him drink it and apologize after..

It's a crazy world out here, we don't take chances

Some foolish ones would be like
''let me eat it so that he won't think that I'm suspecting he'd poison me"

a friend that had the gut to open and even pour your drink behind your back should not be afraid of drinking the said drink
@zuby77

What kind of friends do you guys have. When we are out my friends and close acquaintances leave their opened drinks and cups with me when they go to the bathroom and vice versa.

I dont even think about someone poisoning me. I dont believe I hang with people who would want to do such. Maybe its because it is Europe sha. They will do investigation. Nigerians believe juju and diabolical stuff too much.

You went out with your friend to the bar, you ordered for drinks, but before they brought the drinks, you went out to make a call. When you came back, your friend has already opened it for you and even poured it in the glass.

You asked him why he did that, he said the waiter wanted to use the opener for another customer so he said let him kuku open it for you.

You move the drink one side and order for another drink. Why you guys finished drinking, you paid for the drink he opened which you didn't drink along with the ones you drank.

When you get home you receive a WhatsApp from this supposed friend asking you what you see him as, that are you trying to say he was trying to poison you? You try to reply him but he has already blocked you on Whatsapp. You try to call him but it's showing busy meaning he has blocked your number as well.

Did I do something wrong. Why would you open a drink and pour it out for someone when he didn't ask you to do so?

The only wrong you did was that's you didn't tell him to take the drink as round 2.

My brother you did well and thank God for your wisdom.You have done well.That your guy get bad intention and he is fake.No be every posion dey kill ooo..Dem dey use some to collect glory.
Once they put it inside your drink,you are gone.You will be alive and nothing will be working whereas your friend will be living large.He will even be at your mercy anytime you need help,but he has collected what he wanted.
So you never did anything wrong ,thank your God and move on.
No be all poison be death ooo..Infact dem dey bluetooth glory now self,as far as they call you on phone and you pick it,that one is common among Arabs....so be wise.

hehe brother dem Dey Bluetooth glory ? Please explain further

Luizkid:
He was wrong for opening it but both of you were wrong for not settling the issue there and then.

What is there to settle? The so called friend should have drank it as a second bottle to prove to him he meant to harm. Instead he waited till they have gone before texting n blocking him.

Dyfynezz12:

Na lie, you wan kill am. Why will you open and even pour drink for someone that is not there in the first place?

@zuby77

I agree but him bringing age in such conversation is uncalled for.
People like him who are always too quick to call others children in almost every conversation got absolutely nothing to offer except their age.

This na simple matter, na you pour the drink for your friend & he refuse to take the drink,you self kukuma drink your drink you pour, wahala nor dey there, to confirm say you nor get bad intention.

@zuby77

Of course. But perhaps he was waiting to be asked to drink, he cant just grab and drink it.
That is my point. If he was asked to drink it and he refused, that's the only time i will call him a suspect.
For now, we cant be sure what happened over there, we heard only one side of the story.

The guy wan give you spiritual poison. After you take that drink he will find it easy to manipulate you. This shit happens well well in lagos. Wise up.

Trust is essential. It is wrong to do that. But If I do that to one my friend's he will drink it without questioning me( infact i had open his drinkat his absent many times). I also have one girlfriend those days that I intentionally open her drink in the kitchen before bringing it to her she still took it and drank it without questioning. I even ask her why did she take the open drink, she told me that in her dreams she would not agree that I can poison her.

What will it take to call a waiter to bring opener once you takes your seat.
Why will he open your drink in ur absence?

I can't do dat. But if I could be so stwepid to open that drink and my friend rejects it, I will start taking the drink there.

Una go carry wetin una see for Twitter, edit and post for here. Joblessness.

Your last paragraph tells a lot why the African race especially (Nigeria) can never move forward with their brains.

finallybusy:
I thought trust was the first basis of friendships. If you don’t trust the person, he is not your friend. I can trust my life with the five people I call friends. Even at that, I occasionally let them know I can cut them off at any point in time without a significant reason. Too many friends are a burden. In the modern world, friendships are overrated. If you want untrustworthy friends, befriend women.

Trust is not the basis for friendship. Do you know what trust entails. Never I repeat never trust anyone even family, but you know family is always family. I can love you but chose not to trust you. Betrayal from family can even be pardoned due to the fact that blood is thicker than water but you see outsiders never give them the privileged cause there heart dey for back especially when you ain't close to them. You might love them but they might not see you in the same light
