Spiked drinks in Nightclub

    Here's one for parents (and "children") to watch out for.

    My daughter and her friend apparently had their drinks spiked last Saturday night in a late night establishment in Trim.
    She doesn't drink huge amount in the premises (does it all beforehand) but one minute she was sober and the next ... elephants.
    They were both bought shots by a stranger at the bar (which they shouldn't have taken) and the next thing they were out of it.

    Luckily they had friends to look after them, but apparently they were being watched closely by a strange older man (possibly a foreigner).

    Now I know my daughter fairly well, and she does tell it like it is. She doesn't remember very much about the whole incident but managed to piece it together the next day after talknig to people she'd met the night before.

    Moral of the story?....................Be careful out there.

    Most "spiking" is alcohol.

    That's awful! I'm so enraged that this can and does happen in today's society! I know its got nothing to do with the North East region but it happened to a friend of mine in a Dublin nightclub as well. She was given a drink of vodka and blackcurrant, took a sip, realised she shouldn't have and pretended to drink the rest whilst pouring it out. She felt somewhat light-headed, and had her friends there to look after her. Both they and she noticed that she was being watched by the two men who approached her with the drink.
    Approximately 83,000 pills of flunitrazepam were recently stolen from a pharmaceutical company in Dublin. Flunitrazepam is commonly marketed under the product name Rohypnol. The story is http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0512/drugs.html there.

    I can only second pullandbang's advice; be careful out there. Don't accept drinks from strange people, or indeed, acquaintances. Stay safe.

    Apologies to the mods for the off-forum nature of the post, but I felt compelled to add another warning here..

    Yes a bit of rohyphnol in a young wans bacardi breezer, and happy days, shell be rocking my stick all night long:rolleyes:

    Cop on. I have common sense and amnt sensationalist.Coming from somebody who is probably in your daughters generation, I know what goes on in clubs, your daughter is no angel, she drank too much and passed out. It happens.
    If you are only used to drinking beer and light drinks such as alco pops. If you pop back a few shots your going to hit the floor...fast.

    why would a old guy bother using a "date rape drug"?? judging by the state of most girls at 2am, its quite easy to find a girl who is gonzo on her own doing.

    I know she's no angel, but I also know her. She doesn't hide anything from us (her parents) and when she says something odd happened, then you can be sure something odd happened.

    Don't try categorise me - you don't know me. I've probably spilled more drink than you've drunk in your lifetime (if you're the same era as my daughter). This post is to warn people out there that there are scum who will try anything to take advantage of young girls.

    I got spiked once. Copped on straight away and didnt drink anymore.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,525 ✭✭✭kona

    Well, yes i do need a woman to get a shag, its kinda how it works:rolleyes:.(you sure your a mother?:P)

    I know she's no angel, but I also know her. She doesn't hide anything from us (her parents) and when she says something odd happened, then you can be sure something odd happened. .
    Ha shes embarrased to tell you and her friends that shes a "lightweight" and got seriously ****ed up.
    Your very naieve if you think your daughter tells you everything. She tell you what goes on in clubs? and you still dont mind her going?!

    Where did I categorise you? Have you been spiked tonite? some dodgey barrys tea?Well categorise you now, I took into account where your from and now ive a idea of you. You probably have spilled more drink than ive drank, but thats pretty dumb, not to mention a waste. I prefer to put my drink into my gob.

    Yes people take advantage of young girls, but most people dont. Shes a big girl now, if shes big enough to get ****faced, shes big enough to know the consequences.


    so basically the real story as I believe it to be is: Girls drinks loads before the club. Girl drinks too much in club. Guys are looking at girls as they are wearing sweet feck all. girl ko's. guys are looking at girls.

    Yup sounds like a pretty standard nite in any bar/pub/club in ireland.

    Sensational! all those drugs just waiting to enter young girls.:rolleyes:

    They were robbed because heroin shooters use them to come down better thats what they are used for on the street.

    There are easier more succesful ways of rape. The traditional snatch(excuse the pun) and grab seems to be ever popular.

    Girls dont get spiked, they get locked, and then they get paranoid, then for the attention they shout oh i got spiked.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,026 ✭✭✭Amalgam


    OP, you mention drinking at home and then at the club, could it just be a case of the alcohol from home 'kicking in' and the club drinks cutting the evening short?

    Don't blame the beady eyed, lurking in the shadows, elderly, possibly swan eating, foreigners. Blame the drink.. and the drinking habits.. and the 'let's get totally ****ing blasted' drinking culture\attitude.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,525 ✭✭✭kona


    If you were a sick ugly ****ing dog and decided to get some action and little bit of rape was watcha needed.

    If you spend the money on the drug, id imagine you wouldnt jut plonk it in a random drink and wait.

    Id imagine a plan would be in place:

    1. Get target away from friends.

    2.gain her drunken trust.

    3.offer to buy her a drink.

    4.spike said drink.

    5.make sure you leave before her friends notice the state of her.

    Just a loose plan o what id imagine happens. No clown is just gunna randomly spike drinks. And shots! sure they are poured in front of you:pac: youd wanna be pretty dumb not to see powder being sprinkled on you drink.

    Rohypnol has been modified recently (last 3 or 4 years), to either colour a liquid, in the presence of alcohol, or have a colour itself, not sure which.

    I'm going to be vague here.. but even mixed with alcohol, Rohypnol doesn't have half the magical properties portrayed in the popular\tabloid press.

    Kona, I don't mean to sound rude, and whilst I agree that the usage of these drugs is not necessarily going to be completely for the purposes I mentioned in my post, at least SOME of those 83,000 pills will find their way into the clubs and college parties. I'm 21, I frequent those clubs and college parties, I know what kinds of people I can see there, and I know that a disturbing percentage of those people would drug a girl for the purposes of having sex with her. Its happened to my friends at parties, and whilst I also must agree that some girls DO get locked, there are an unfortunate few who do not.

    When a girl's drink gets spiked and she's out with her friends, her friends usually notice. The girl becomes suddenly drowsy, incoherent, unable to walk, amongst other things.. Yes, these all happen when drinking, but the rate at which all this occurs is usually a clear indication that she has ingested some form of sleep inducing drug, such as Rohypnol.

    Gary, but there's also the modern habit of women.. drinking like lads. if you're a certain body mass and height, beer and spirits will catch up to you fast.

    Amalgam, Rohypnol is certainly visible after a period of time when its been mixed with alcohol. However, if you're drinking a vodka and coke, or a spirit mixed with blackcurrant, or indeed any dark drink, it won't change colour. The same goes for beers etc. in dark glass bottles - Heineken, Budweiser and the like.

    I'll agree its not quite as "efficient" as its made out to be by the press, but it still presents a real danger.

    that happened to me the first time i drank absinthe, the ejit that I am thought it wouldnt be too bad, I drank a good 200ml of it ontop of whiskey and beer. Indeed it was easier to knock back than whiskey.

    10 mins later I went from having a conversation and walking. to ko. wlaking to ko and asleep for the nite came in 2 mins max, I cant remember the rest of the night, only upto where i kod.

    Dont bite my head off with this or anything, and im not agreeing 100% with Kona, but Im a 20 year old fella and I know what shots can do to you. Was at a party a couple of weeks ago, had 5 or 6 beers, was completely grand, then had one or 2 shots and cant remember much after that. That being said, I am a self-confessed lightweight and I had not been drinking before I left the house.

    But your daughter had been drinking beforehand, and from the girls my age that I know, drinking at the house beforehand usually consists of a full bottle of wine and/or a naggan/shoulder of vodka or malibu. I've seen plenty girls at the club, completely legless at half 12 or 1 in the morning, not having a clue whats going on, but that doesnt mean they had their drinks spiked.

    There's always going to be a few creepy men around (and even women) looking at a group of young ones, thats just what you get, it doesnt mean they're targeting you with drugs.

    Just said Id put in my thoughts on the matter.

    I concur, but if you ever find yourself in the situation where one of your friend's drinks has been spiked, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. The speed at which this all happens is unbelievable.

    Real absinthe can do that to you, but keep in mind that these girls weren't drinking absinthe. They were drinking (in my friend's case at least), the same thing they drink every weekend. Ergo, logic would dictate that with all other circumstances being the same or similar, another force must have come into play to produce the end result.

    Considering I at the time was able drink straight whiskey from the bottle, and quite alot of it. Id imagine proportionally, to a lightweight woman, the absinthe may potntially equal a naggin of vodka.

    sure some people do get drugged, but the chances are so slim.

    I find the OP funny, I mean how the **** can you spike a dink thats poured in front of you. The fact that there was a old man, who *may* have been foreign copperfastend the theory that she was spiked. A theory formed by a bunch of drunken teenagers. Its aload of ****e.

    I believe if she was spiked, shed have been talking to the guy who did it, as hed have to get close enough to be able to be trusted.

    Absinthe is between 45% - 74% Alcohol by Volume. Vodka, on the other hand, is between 35% - 50% Alcohol by Volume. Standard Jameson whiskey, for example, is 40% Alcohol by Volume. The difference in those concentrations between absinthe and the others is enormous, hence making your point about drinking absinthe for the first time and comparing its effects to the regular drinking habits of a young woman null and void. While its true that ones size and stature impacts greatly on ones ability to consume "X" amount of alcohol, whether you can drink whiskey straight or not has nothing to do with the effects that absinthe will have on you, due to the various ingredients that absinthe is made from, and also its alcohol content.
    But I digress..

    Its surprisingly easy to intercept a drink. If its an open-ended highball glass, all you have to do is walk by and pass your hand over the top of the glass. You think anyone's going to notice that in a busy club where alcohol has already been consumed by the girl in question? Same with a bottle; unless you keep your thumb or finger over the top the entire night except when drinking, all you have to do is pop your finger over the rim of the bottle and in it falls. This man could have simply walked past the OP's daughter, or she may have left the drink down for a second, or any other number of things may have occurred to bring to fruition the situation that she found herself in.

    Would the OP's post have sounded less sensationalist if the man had been positively Irish, rather than possibly foreign? "Old" could mean mid-30's to the OP's daughter's age group. All in all, when my points are considered, it seems to be a very viable situation indeed, does it not?

    Just while we're on the subject of Absinthe, I had one shot of it when I was about 16/17, and I was a bit tipsy after it. I had nothin else to drink that day at all, and it wasnt even the pire stuff, it was from the canaries or something and was yellow if memory serves.... just sayin.

    I was spiked twice in Meath in the last twelve months, horrible experience.

    First time was in Trim last July, I was out with my younger brother (a pioneer) and a few mates, having a laugh, just 3 or 4 bottles of beer. I went to get another one and my brother said the change he saw in one bottle was phenomenal, he said I was fit for bed, and this was at half twelve, not 3am where fatigue and a feed of drink play a big part. On that particular night I lost a phone and a jacket.

    Second time was in Navan just after Christmas, and I remember a pair of girls at the bar in one of the town's nightclubs asking me to reach over and get them plastic straws. I obliged, inadvertently turning my back on my own drink in the process, and within 20 minutes I was in an awful state again, having to sit down for the rest of the night and wait for the others til they were ready for a taxi. Amazing how you can remember all your actions and who you were talking to and all the rest, and then you're written off like that.

    It happens, and the funny thing is the nights on which it has happened me have been the easygoing nights where you're just out for a few drinks and a laugh. I'd be the first to put my hand up and say if drink had played a part on either occasion, but I know it didn't. A pioneer brother will vouch for my turnaround on the first occasion, and my own memory and sudden loss thereof will vouch for the second time.

    Actually no, I did not agree with my own statement. The post before mine, by Victor, said: "There is more in Absinthe than just alcohol."
    I quoted what I had said before, the most important part being the following: "... has nothing to do with the effects that absinthe will have on you, due to the various ingredients that absinthe is made from, and also its alcohol content."

    I quoted what I had previously written to re-iterate this point, that the effects of the alcohol plays only one part in the effect that absinthe has on both your mind and body due to the other ingredients in it - wormwood and other herbs. Thereby also re-iterating the fact that the amount of a certain type of alcohol that one person drinks cannot be compared to the effects a certain other type of alcohol would have on another person, therefore largely discounting the idea of the girl in question simply having had too much to drink; leading us back to the topic at hand - spiked drinks in nightclubs.

    My apologies if that was not very clear; I assumed it would be.

    Do you know what, on two occasions I have had a female friend collapse while out with me, neither of these incidents had anything to do with drinks being spiked the silly girl just drank too much/ate too little or a combination of the above. Why are people so reluctant to examine their own behaviour first?

    People who jump to the conclusion they've had a drink spiked, imo, show a complete lack of self awareness and cop on.

    Where are the people who witnessed someone dropping something into their/somebody elses drinks????? Is there suddenly such a thing as the perfect crime that no-one ever got caught??

    And as tuxy asked, where are the people whose sparkling waters got spiked???

    She doesn't drink huge amount in the premises (does it all beforehand) but one minute she was sober and the next ... elephants

    You sound like a terribly irresponsible parent to me. How old is your daughter?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭lukesmom


    Regarding Rohypnol I went through a time last year where I had chronic insomnia and failing all other sleepers my doctor prescribed me with rohypnol. It completely knocked me out for 12 hours straight. Dont remember falling asleep.

    The OP said her daughter drank it all beforehand and then had a shot. Well I know when I have a few drinks and then a shot it really hits me and I dont remember much the next day. I think this is what happens with girls. To be honest I have often woken up and not known how I got home:o. I am only saying this so you will see that perhaps she wasnt spiked at all! I bet she just went the way I do when I drink shots and I tend not to do it often due to that reason! My boyfriend doesnt react as bad as I do. I think it particularly affects girls as we are smaller. Regarding the elephants she said she saw? She was probably just locked and people can hallucinate with strong alcohol.

    i caught the fella who tried to spike me. Stupid fooker had a big dopey head on him so I said to me mates it must have been me man cos he wont stop looking at me. The little shoite head admitted it then. Meh no harm no foul. I copped on straight away so only got a little light headed for a minute or two. Then I just piled the drink into me and was in bits. Good times.

    Almost got wasted, realised what was happening, sorted it out, then got wasted. Nice. :pac:
    Anyone care to share where I can get some free drugs? I mean what kind of idiots wastes their stash on random drinks!?

    Oooh scary foreign fellas. I've been a foreigner half my life and here's my take on this scenario... Maybe if you weren't so apt to prejudice you might give the guy the benefit of the doubt and consider that maybe he was watching the situation unfold because he was worried for the kid's welfare. It doesn't appear from the story you've bought from your daughter that this is the same guy who bought the shots. Seems like your daughter knows well how to push your buttons and manipulate you. Throw in a foreigner and all negative attention deflects from her.

    Not really into drugs. Rather me beer tbh. Dont think people are gonna spike me drink with a bit of weed sadly.

    I remember one of me mates older brother telling a few of us years ago that he used to love going to discos and spiking people just to laugh at them in bits. He thought we where all weird when we pointed out its a waste of money and drugs and that he was a fool for doing it.
    Ha another fella I know gives out because nobody ever spiked him. He would go over and say thanks if he seen someone doing it to his pint

    I go out regularly in Trim (I'm 18), and I have seen my fair few shifty older men hanging around the local bars, and I know what happened wasn't nice at all. But what was she thinking taking a drink from a shifty man she didn't know?
    I think it's great that you know how much she has had, and that you can monitor what she had at home, but if you think she is responsible enough to go out to pubs shouldn't she be responsible enough to know not to take drinks from strange men?

    Some girls are so stupid when they go out on their own. I am obviously a girl and so I know what goes on. The drunker they get they will accept a drink off anyone and think its great to get as much free drink as possible so if they get spiked it is really their own faults. You should not accept drinks from just anyone. I dont think there is that much spiking going on, I reckon it is a case of not being able to handle your drink, waking up with a sore head and blaming it on a phantom spiker!:rolleyes:

    Aye, I'm always disappointed when I get back to a drink and my mates tell me no-one spiked it. :(
