Have you ever been spiked?

Girl drinks too much, hits on guys and makes a show of herself and blames it on being spiked? iirc, being spiked makes you pass out, not "act out of character"

All these anecdotes really do nothing except convince me even further people can't take responsibility

Don't know anyone who has been spiked and never been spiked myself.

Seen plenty of girls drink way too much and put themselves in risk of getting into sexual assault/rape situations. Seen a few who could barely stand and talk.

I know three girls who got spiked. One collapsed in the pub we were drinking in, the other passed out going into the nite club. And the last girl ended up blacking out, and was taken to a hotel with some stranger!
To be honest i think its a normal thing to happen in clubs and pubs around the country last week my friend ended up getting blood tests after a night out (she was acting erratic etc ) turned out ketamine was in her system!

My theory; she was wankered drunk, had sex with some chap, "woke up" as in sorta realized where she was midsexytime and bailed crying rape.
I said **** that and went to see Nine Inch Nails!:D

Funny... a similar thing happened to me... where were you when this happened?

Quite a number of rapes are linked with drinking. Sure the girl has to take responsibility of being that drunk and allowing herself to be in the type of situation and putting themselves at risk but you have to look at the type of man that would prey on these girls (you say she was a mess). I would be disgusted by you reaction too It is a traumatizing thing to happen to anybody and for people to treat her like this regardless of being drunk or not is horrible.

Has happened once, but I believe it was a prank. I was out in a club and a couple of lads I knew saw me and knew I wasn't drinking (I was driving home). They decided to spike my coke with vodka, for the craic and see if I would drive home pissed without realising it. They thought I'd never drank and so wouldn't recognise the taste of vodka in my coke, that I would assume it was a "bad" coke I had gotten.

Fortunately I'm not thick and noticed it straight away. I must say I was royally annoyed with them for thinking doing something like that was funny.

I get spiked everytime I go out! It usually happens between pints 9 and 10!
Strangely enough, though, I don't get spiked if I only have 5 pints and call it a night! Imagine that : O

that girl ended up passing out and being taken to the hospital where tests confirmed something was put in her drink-reckon it might have been E cos of her behaviour.

Do you not think that when hospitals do this tests they can find out exactly what was in her blood instead of just finding out "something" was in her blood.

I was in a fairly popular pub in Limerick one Saturday night last year (i won't say which one) and i was offered a drink by one of the barmen. Since it was the barman who offered it i didnt think i had anything to worry about. I only had 2 bottles of beer before this and I handle my drink fairly well but within about 15 mins my vision had gone blurry and i felt really drunk. Thats all i remember and after that my friends boyfriend had to carry me to a taxi. I never knew for sure whether my drink had been spiked but I've never had that reaction before. And if it was it was spiked by a barman of all people! :eek:

The Big Red Button

While I have every sympathy for anyone whose drink is actually spiked (either with drugs, or with extra alcohol or whatever), I do think that in the majority of cases it's just girls not knowing their limits. If someone wakes up in bed with a stranger and with no memory of the night before, it's easier to cry "date-rape" than to admit their own responsibility.

Even in those cases though, I feel sorry for anyone this happens to. It must be a horrible feeling, to have a total loss of control like that.

I have to say, even if it was "her fault" for getting too drunk, I don't think I could have left another girl in such a mess. Couldn't you just have brought her to one of the security people to have them take care of her? It could have just as easily been you or one of your friends.

He was telling me that such things are very commonplace, and that the amount of people being spiked in Ireland is actually very high.

Doctors say it's uncommon, taximan claims otherwise. Who do you believe?

Another contributing factor could be eejits who don't realise you can't drink on certain medications. Oh noes I was drunk on my second pint, it must have been spiked...

Yes, there are a lot of factors that people don't consider. How much you ate that day, how tired you are, your general well-being at any given time, and, as you said, unforeseen drug interactions - any combination of these factors could cause you to get floored unusually quickly, especially when you're talking about 8-stone girls drinking double VnBRs.

Rohypnol is quite commoly used to spike drinks

No it isn't, it turns drinks blue so it's hardly a rapist's best friend. Don't spout off anecdotal evidence as if it's fact.

My brother was spiked on a camping trip once.
Some of the folks he didn't know too well were doing E he reckoned.
The eejit left his 2nd drink of the night unattended for a minute and the next thing he's throwing up violently and convinced he was going to die.
He wasn't right for about a week after. I was so worried about him

Doesn't really sound like E to be honest. It could possibly have been a psychoactive piperazine (though being ****ed for a week still sounds excessive even for those). That said, drugs affect everyone differently, so who can say?

that girl ended up passing out and being taken to the hospital where tests confirmed something was put in her drink-reckon it might have been E cos of her behaviour.

'Something?' They either identified the compound or they didn't. Sounds a bit suspect to be honest.

I know a person who took a rohypnol pill just to try it out. Not really a friend of mine but fairly nuts as they go.

That's not really all that unusual. Benzos of all kinds are widely used and abused recreationally. I'd try it if some came my way.

2% of heroin it said,yeah call it a day mr cynical.

That's an isolated case; it's so rare that it may as well be an urban myth. I think the only way that you'd get heroin in pills is if they were unintentionally contaminated. In any case, the heroin wouldn't be active orally in such small doses.

Even in those cases though, I feel sorry for anyone this happens to. It must be a horrible feeling, to have a total loss of control like that.

At ****** 2006 I drank a litre of vodka, twenty-four cans and god knows what else in about ten hours. I woke up in a ditch with a loose tooth, a black eye and piss running down my leg. Do you feel sorry for me too?

Regarding the OP's question: the problem I have with these stories of drink spiking, which are widespread and common, is that they jar completely with reports from hospitals and rape centres, who claim they're very rare. Either the medical professionals are frequently getting it wrong (unlikely) or people are frequently lying about these incidents, or at least jumping to illogical conclusions (much more likely). Basically, there is no evidence to suggest that people are regularly getting spiked and I won't believe there is a problem until there's something more than anecdotal stories to back the claim up. If you even think about it for two minutes you'll realise that carrying a comatose female away from her friends, through a busy club, past the bouncers at the door and back to your rape dungeon isn't the easiest task in the world. If I was a rapist, I think I'd just find a drunk girl or get a girl drunk - not too difficult in Ireland. So I think a great many people who claim to have had their drink spiked are lying to redeem character, a similar percentage were actually just bollox drunk and drew the false conclusion they'd been spiked (I collapsed and couldn't remember anything, must have been Rohypnol)! and a small number were genuinely spiked. I feel sorry for the latter, since all the other people crying wolf cast doubt on the genuine claims.

The girls probably robbed a spiked drink that wasn't meant for them.

Funny you should say this. I was out in a club with my mates well over a year ago. We were out in the smoking area and some chick was going round swiping drinks off tables. She was brazen; I caught her trying to fleece my double vodka & blackcurrant at least twice. I finished the drink off anyway and asked my mates to get me another while I went to the jacks. When I got back my drink was sitting there but I felt something was amiss as my friends were looking a bit sheepish. Intuition and past experience told me there was something up with the drink, so I examined the glass and sure enough there was an unusual white froth at the surface of the vodka, and little pieces of undissolved pill floating about in it. I didn't have anything to do the next day, and since it was a fairly dull night I was pretty happy with this turn of events. I took sip of the drink and left it on the table behind me. When I turned back to get it it had disappeared. I had a quick scan of the area and saw the drink robber standing a a few metres away with a glass containing a suspiciously familiar purple liquid in her hand. I was pretty pissed off about this, and way too drunk to act the carebear, so I let her finish it off. When I told my mates what'd happened they were pretty concerned but afraid to say anything for obvious reasons. They told me it was BZP, not ecstasy, that they'd put in my drink (so I'd actually dodged a bullet there). Thirty minutes later the girl staggered to her knees in the middle of the smoking area and puked all over the ground, before her friends picked her up and ushered her off to the bathroom, while my friends looked on in horror and I roared with laughter.

When I woke up the next day I was fairly disgusted with what I'd done, but at least I know the 48 hours of insomnia the girl endured from that foul chemical probably ended her drink-robbing career.

this thread reminds me when i got my drink spiked a number of years ago in college.

the glb society was having a meet in the pub that night and it was on the same time as a champions league qualifier, so we were there watching and having a few scoops. one of the lads thought it would be whimsical to spike my drink, and proceeded to but viagra in my drink without myself noticing. lets just say the night got quite out of hand!

If you drink eight or nine pints and then fire a few shots down on top of that, your drink hasnt been spiked, you've just mangled the fcuking brains off yourself.

On the other hand if you've just had three or four pints and end up pissing in the window of a squad car whilst singing La Marseillaise, then there is a good chance that your drink was spiked.

look, i told you to stop following me around on friday nights.

A bunch of my mates were working in London for the summer during college. They were having a mad time and everyone was getting on well. Five guys two girls. Anyway, one of my mates tried to score acid (lsd) one night for all of them. He was looking for seven (obviously) and the man said £35, or I'll do you thirty for £90. Well obviously, my mate couldn't pass up a bargain like that. Cue shenannigans. Mad yokes spiking each other just to see the reaction. All very funny, til Jim spiked Neil's tea for a laugh when he was on his way out to work one morning.
Hilarious til they remembered that he was a guide doing those open top tours of London. I'd say they saw Abbey Road more than once.

got spiked before but not the innocent im just having a drink way.was at a beach party on holiday with a few friends good few years back at a time when we were 'experimenting' regularly.bought what we thought were E's,went to a bar to wash them down then woke up on the floor of said bar the next morning with one friend lying opposite me and the owner of the bar chattin to his friend at the table next to us.in fairness to them they'd kept watch over us all night,still had wallet and money etc,met our other two friends later back at our hotel,they had managed to stay awake long enough to get back there.no harm no foul i guess so it turned into a funny story.
ps. DEF. not due to getting hammered on drink in case someone wants to mention that ol chestnut

Its fairly easy to lie to them. Saying that your her boyfriend or friend bouncers would either have to take your word for it or be left having to deal with her plus about a hundred other drunks. They would prob think that it would be the best thing for her to be brought home to sleep it off rather than getting the garda or sending her off in an ambulance.

For the craic. They know I'm a fan of pills of all kinds, though BZP wouldn't be near the top of my list.

It's been illegal for a while. I actually quite enjoy the effects; it's the nightmare comedown that gets me. To be honest, I don't think it was causing enough trouble to warrant a ban, though I won't miss it.

I find it bizarre that people will buy behaviour changing chemical cocktails from total strangers, who if they were selling burgers and hot dogs you wouldnt touch them with a ten foot pole.

Heard a story not unlike this about a bloke who was going to Thailand with his "friends" on holidays few years back from the UK. They popped 3 E tablets in his drink on the plane and the guy died.

I hate arseholes at gigs that are so bloody drunk, I paid money to go see bands and have fun, I was dealing with her sh*tehole of a situation.
If that makes me a bad person then so be it. I don't give a **** about seventeen year old girls that have no respect for themselves or anyone else for that matter.

A friend of mine got really, really drunk at a party one night and ended up wetting herself so the next day she told everyone in work that her drink had been spiked to cover up her embarrassment. Of course, our manager at the time found out about it and hit the roof because most of people at the party were from work and she demanded to know who had spiked her drink.

Her drink hadn't been spiked at all and she'd lied which I wasn't really cool with because we all ended up getting a huge lecture about how we were dragging down the name of the company etc etc, even though it was outside working hours and nothing to do with work at all really!

On the subject of girls being spiked and raped, I think that's terrible. The same applies to when drunk. It is possible to be drunk and start having sex but to sober up during the act and change your mind. If you say no but are not being listened to, I would still consider that rape. Yeah, you may have been up for it at the beginning but being forced to have sex when you don't want to is not on at all, drunk or sober.
