Harmless joke at Christmas party or distasteful?

My cousin went to his company's christmas party last weekend and made a "joke" that got him scolded by HR.
The situation was he was at the drink table and his female coworker came up and asked him if the punch was spiked. He said, yes and that punch over there (pointing to different bowl) has alcohol in it.
She apparently took offense to that. Was that joke inappropriate for a company party in the day we are in?

Nowadays any question answered to a female coworker can get you sent to HR

Im confused as to what was said wrong?
Did she take it as the women have their own punch bowl?

But, she started the entire process of the joke by asking if the punch was spiked.

Can we have a trigger warning for the word punch? Some women have ptsd from domestic violence

I believe he was insinuating that the first bowl is filled with roofies. That's how I read it at least.
Funny, but know your audience.

Did he forget to tell you as she walked away, he gave her a slap on the arse? That’s what got him in trouble. There is always more to the story!

no the joke was that the punch was spiked as in drugs. Since spiking a drink at a bar is now common nomenclature for adding a drug.

Basically just talking to a woman in the workplace can land you in HR these days.

Hmmm...rape jokes are never a good idea. Your cousin sounds like an idiot.

i'm clueless what he did wrong there

Insinuating that the 'spiked' bowl had acid or roofies in it? I'm not following.

I don't think it was a harmless or distasteful joke.
It was however a shitty joke.
That's probably why she was offended.

Should have told her he pissed in it instead

But the woman set the joke up by asking if the punch was spiked.

Was she pissed it really wasn’t spiked?

$1,000 says she's not attractive
