red cross drunk tweet sent out by gloria huang

Is there anything beer can't do? Yesterday, beer even inadvertently became the cause for charity donations to The American Red Cross. According to The Huffington Post, a Twitter mishap occurred on The Red Cross's account yesterday when the organization's social media expert, Gloria Huang, mistakenly posted what she believed was a tweet on her own private account. It all worked out for Gloria and the Red Cross, though, because fans of the beer she tweeted about started raising money and donating blood!

Gloria claims that she wasn't drunk when she made the tweet, but blamed it on her inability to use HootSuite. I can believe that, since I still routinely send text messages to the wrong people, every day! It could've happened to anyone, Gloria, but not every mistake turns into The Daily What's Tweet Of The Day.



Here is the tweet that was sent by accident:


She does it right when she drinks ... but not when she tweets. The mistake was quickly deleted but rather than overreact the way many organizations do in these cases, The American Red Cross posted a lighthearted counter-tweet.


Sober, maybe. But you can't hide from your fabulous taste in beer. Dogfish Head beer fans took over from there, pledging donations to The Red Cross that may have otherwise not have been made.

It makes me happy to see this accident turn into something positive. No hard feelings, Gloria! Your great taste in beer has saved the day! Americans have come together, rallying for their favorite beer AND their favorite charity.

If you would like to donate to the Red Cross, you can do so via their donations page. We here at Urlesque would like to remind you that when you drink Dogfish Head Midas Touch beer ... please tweet responsibly.
