I messed up a few months ago when I offered to buy a homeless man some food. He asked for a sandwich. It was when I stood in the sandwich isle of the supermarket that I realised that I'd just offered to buy someone something that isn't vegan. At that moment, I couldn't see my way out of it and bought an egg sandwich. It felt really crap but I've had some time to think about it and next time I'll just explain that I'm vegan and offer to buy something else.
As for alcohol, I sometimes have cocktails and will go through the cocktail menu and check the ingredients on Barnivore before going out. Although this might sound like a pain it's quite the opposite: it's such as relief to be able to continue distancing myself from apathy, mindlessness, denial etc.
