What happened in the Mezz.. (call for info)

McChubbin

Hey all.
You're probably wondering why I haven't posted in a bit.
Well, the last two weeks have been a blur of doctor's appointments, psychiatric units and general Girl Interupted-type encounters.
This is all due to the fact that I was drink-spiked following the conclusion of the Zombie Walk in the Mezz on june 26th 2010.
I post here to ask if anyone on Boards was in the Mezz between 5pm and 9:30pm to please offer any information on any illicit activity you may have witnessed as I need witnesses to build a case.

This is completely serious business and I ask the moderators to move this thread if needs be.

Any information will be most appreciated.

Incidently: to the ****er who spiked my bottle of Stella:
**** you, you muppet- tripping hippy! I will ****-punt you into the sun if I ever see your David Schwimmer-looking creepy rapist face again! :mad:

Iv never heard of anyones drink ever been spiked. I believe it to be an urban myth. Imo the real culprit is too much drink.

Nope, I can say honestly that it happened to me too.
Put me in hospital for days.

I hope OP you get justice.

My name is URL

How do you know it was spiked? Was it confirmed by blood tests?

You are wrong and should educate yourself about the ways of the world.

Have a read of this for starters.

Sorry but im well up on the ways of the world!

Your link shows no documented evidence or statistics of spiking.

I do remember reading in the paper about a doctor who stated that the vast majority of so called spiking incidents where not due to illicit drugs but due to too much alcohol.

Jaxxy

I know this is AH and all but can we get less of the attitude? She's just looking for some information and in fairness anyone who has ever been spiked knows how messed up the experience can be.

That link just contains general info on how to protect yourself from having a drink spiked. Doesn't exactly prove anything does it?

For the record, I don't doubt that it happens, but let's not go crazy, I'm also sure a lot of people who say they've been spiked just don't have a fúcking clue on when to stop drinking.

I had ONE drink in a bar one day and was poisoned by a substance put into my drink.

Spiking of drinks though does happen. Just ask the Rape Crises Centre In Dublin for examples.

Widespread spiking of drinks with date-rape drugs such as Rohypnol and GHB is an "urban legend" fuelled by young women unwilling to accept they have simply consumed too much alcohol, academics believe.

A study of more than 200 students revealed many wrongly blamed the effects of a "bad night out" on date-rape drugs, when they had just drunk excessively.

Many are in "active denial" that drinking large amounts of alcohol can leave them "incoherent and incapacitated", the Kent University researchers concluded.

Young women's fears about date-rape drugs are so ingrained that students mistakenly think it is a more important factor in sexual assault than being drunk, taking drugs or walking alone at night.

The study, published in the British Journal of Criminology, found three-quarters of students identified drink spiking as an important risk – more than alcohol or drugs.

More than half said they knew someone whose drink had been spiked.

But despite popular beliefs, police have found no evidence that rape victims are commonly drugged with such substances, the researchers said.

Dr Adam Burgess from the university's School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research, said: "Young women appear to be displacing their anxieties about the consequences of consuming what is in the bottle on to rumours of what could be put there by someone else.

"The reason why fear of drink-spiking has become widespread seems to be a mix of it being more convenient to guard against than the effects of alcohol itself and the fact that such stories are exotic – like a more adult version of 'stranger danger'."

Rituals to protect drinks from contamination, such as taking drinks to the lavatory in clubs and bars and buying only bottled drinks, have become commonplace, the academics noted.

Among young people, drink spiking stories have attractive features that could "help explain" their disproportionate loss of control after drinking alcohol, the study found.

Dr Burgess said: "Our findings suggest guarding against drink spiking has also become a way for women to negotiate how to watch out for each other in an environment where they might well lose control from alcohol consumption."

Co-researcher Dr Sarah Moore said: "We would be very interested in finding out whether the urban myth of spiking is also the result of parents feeling unable to discuss with their adult daughters how to manage drinking and sex and representing their anxieties about this through discussion of drink spiking risks."

Nick Ross, chair of the Jill Dando Institute of Crime Science, commented: "There is no evidence of widespread use of hypnotics in sexual assault, let alone Rohypnol, despite many attempts to prove the contrary.

"During thousands of blood and alcohol tests lots of judgement-impairing compounds were discovered, but they were mostly street drugs or prescription pharmaceuticals taken by the victims themselves, and above all alcohol was the common theme.

"As Dr Burgess observes, it is not scientific evidence which keeps the drug rape myth alive but the fact that it serves so many useful functions."

Dr Burgess and his team questioned more than 200 students at universities in London and south east England.

Earlier this year, Australian researchers found that not one of 97 young men and women admitted to hospital over 19 months to two Perth hospital claiming to have had their drinks spiked, had in fact been drugged.

What kind of drink was it?

Could it have been in the drink since it left the factory like a cleaning substance or something?

No, contents from my stomach was tested and the substance was not drink/bar or factory cleaner related.
Its was [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]flunitrazepam related and reacted badly with myself.[/FONT]

That's mad.

Was this during the day or at night? Was the bar busy and did you take you long to finish the drink/feel the effects?

What was the final outcome?

Bar not empty but not mad busy, daytime, ended up in hospital on my back for 5 days.
Took some sort of allergic reaction to the stuff.
Was working at the time on a major contract and this incident put a serious spanner in the works as they say.
Was well not impressed.
