Suspected spiked drink

rubadub · 29-01-2008 01:51PM

Alchol is the number one date rape drug out there, no question, has been used for centuries as such. It is the recent myths of date rape drugs that has everybody shouting "spiked". If somebody has never had a blackout from drink before it can be a extremely strange experience, then they read a redtop rag and say "yep must have been spiked, couldnt have been harmless alcohol, sure its legal".

Many doctors in the US were trying to get GHB legalised, banned from claims of being a date rape drug. To knock a person out with GHB takes a very large dose, a recreational dose is hard enough to stomach, you certainly would not slip it in a drink and not notice it! imagine dumping 2-4 tablespoons of salt in your vodka & coke, that still might not make you pass out with GBH. GBH is used as an alternative recreational drug to alcohol, so it is in a lot of peoples interest to see it banned.

Your drink could well have been spiked, more likely with a double shot of vodka by some sleazy fecker, or just overindulged yourself.

I also did hear the dublin rape crisis centre stating no case was ever found of date rape drugs being used, other than "harmless" alcohol, and sure you can't ban that, mammy & bertie drink it.

I have a mate who often gets "bad burgers", the lads in mcdonalds must have breathalyzers or something, since they only serve him these "bad burgers" after 12pints.

Blokes get bad burgers,
Wimmin get spiked,
Those in the know get blackouts...

As said above, drink spiking gets you off your face in a trippy stupid way, not a puking ill way. Thats too much booze.

Why do all these people think there is some sadistic bastard going around dropping free drugs into peoples drink. Bet all those people who pay for them feel stupid now.

Off-topic:
A lot people do things they regret on nights out and then claim they were spiked.
It's about passing on blame.
A girl will never tell her parents that she got realy drunk and they went home with some loser.
But if she tells her family and her friends she was spiked, she immediately gets sympathy. What a cop-out!

I'm not saying that is you OP. I just see similar threads in Personal Issues all the time.
"I drank 10 shots, ended up going up home with someone and I can't figure out why. It wasn't the alcohol I shoved down my throat, I bet someone spiked me as I'm entirely blamless"

You are correct, you were posioned and the poison was alcohol

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA + a million!!!!!

Alcoholic poisoning is also known as "a bad hangover". Or if the effects kick in earlier, simply "puking from too much drink".
It would surely take a lot more to make a person sick for two days, wouldn't it?
OP, I also think it's unlikely your drink was spiked, but maybe you picked up a nasty stomach bug that was just exacerbated by the amount of alcohol you drank?

AARRRGH · 29-01-2008 02:21PM

I have never once heard of someone who drinks water or minerals getting their drink spiked. It's always the puke/blackout inducing alcohol which gets spiked...

Dudess · 29-01-2008 02:25PM

Heh, true. But seriously though, has anyone else ever had a two-day hangover from hell?

jdivision · 29-01-2008 02:30PM

Yes. One where I couldn't eat at all. Actually lasted til the evening of the third day. I was so passed out the lads were playing football and lay me down in goals as a Christy Brown type goalkeeper without the benefit of function in his left foot. i was wondering why I had dirt all down my side the next day. Puked too many times to count.

Sure have and honey is the only thing for it. Honey metabolises before water :eek: so you won't puke it up as long as it is taken in small amounts, then your system will accelerate and process the poison :cool:.

Dudess · 29-01-2008 03:13PM

I never get headachey hangovers, just pukey ones. And Motillium is fantastic for them.

Ross_Mahon · 29-01-2008 04:08PM

My friend was out at a club, and he blacked out, and woke up in the toilet near closing time. He didn't know what happened that night and he was thinking about getting checked up.

How much did he drink?

I've woken up a few times in the toilet after being totally wasted. I think I naturally head there to puke, and then fall asleep...

Luckily, or unluckily, it takes a ginormous amount of alcohol to get me wasted (20+ pints) so this doesn't happen too often!

Kiya · 30-01-2008 12:43AM

i was spiked in london, freakiest thing EVER!! :eek:
only for the fact that it was my 1st drink out with my m8s, everyone else in the pub just thought i was blotto, luckily they brought me to hospital & it was confirmed via blood test.

come on now boys & girls, DONT BE IGNORANT & in turn careless.
there have been confirmed cases of peoples drink being spiked here in ireland.
but Never a confirmed case of GHD, the so called date rape drug.

as a girl i hate it when some daft bit of fluff, has far too much to drink & either shags someone or just makes a tit out of themseleves, then claims afterwards that theyd been spiked.
makes genuine cases like me seem like feckn liars..

me & my m8s always keep an eye on each other so **** like this doesnt happen.
plus it keeps us away from guys who only look gorgeous with our beer goggles on

Do you have any evidence to back this up?

Pinkchick03 · 02-02-2008 03:41PM

OK so I drank maybe 8/9 cocktails - but i mean like small glasses and each one with only 2 shots in it, if even that.... and I'd 2 shots of vodka..... is that too much?

Anyway yea I think it must have been a crazy stomach bug ..... definitely. It's so strange though.... I mean today I am still unwell (eg nauseous and lacking in energy).... but terribly unwell, but unwell all the same... I went to the hospital yesterday just to double sure that I wasn't dying of something - but all clear - you can never be too careful. I understand that why would someone waste their drugs on someone else, but still you have to be careful. I totally blacked out and woke up in the toilet puking up with a strange girl in the cubicle with me.

It's amazing the difference in opinion about this.
By the way am I dumb or what does "OP" stand for?

I'm in Tokyo by the way, not Ireland... so anything is possible (eg spiking!)

FunkZ · 02-02-2008 03:48PM

I've heard of a lot of people getting spiked in Fusion up in Drogheda in the last month or so... If ya blacked out ya probably were. Be careful in the future yo.

Are you mad or just stupid? This was obviously too much ffs. 8 cocktails with two shots of god knows what in each followed by 2 sots of vodka, that's 18 shots!!!

Well to be honest i think they were pre made up cocktail bottle things - you know those ones you can buy eg "Sex on the beach" in a bottle. I also had 2 screwdrivers... so thats only 2 shots.... Anyway I'm just guessing how much I had - it could have only been 5 cocktails.... I don't really know

TequilaMockingBird · 02-02-2008 03:54PM

Lol. I was you taking this seriously, untill you mentioned you drank 20 shots.

The Queen · 02-02-2008 03:59PM

A girl I know of had her drink spiked in a club in Ireland (she wasn't drinking alcohol that night, and doesn't do drugs). Not sure of the details, but she's now barred from that club because she testified against them in court or something...

The majority of "spiked drinks" are just girls going crazy on the booze, loosing all self control.

FunkZ · 02-02-2008 04:04PM

20 shots is stupid though, really.

The Queen · 02-02-2008 04:09PM

No wonder so sick! Hope ya feel better soon though.... Get some sleep, and sweat it out

Lol same. On a lighter note, a bloke - yes bloke - I knew in school couldn't handle his drink, and rather then come home a drunken mess to his disapproving parents he claimed his drink was spiked. LOl two months later he made the same excuse. What's worse, they believed him!

I was out with family one night was a gala event that then let normal crowds in after the event, I came back from the loo and my boyfriend at the time handed me back what I thought was my drink (my first drink of the night). I went to the toilet again and was found 45 minutes later foaming at the mouth and my eyes rolling back in my head, there was some puking but not much.
I did go to the doctor and he stated exactly what everyone said here most supposed cases are spikings, but the spikings that do occur are very hard to prove due to the levels of "drugs" in the system, and how much is usually metobolised by the time the person is brough to the hospital.
I got tests ran but as my bf at the time was afraid to bring me to the hosp till the next day, the docs could only confirm the raised levels of hormones in my system, they couldn't say for sure if it was spiked but that everything pointed to it being spiked.
When your drink is spiked you will know, its nothing at all like a hangover, my balance was completely gone for about 3 days afterwards too, now not that i was unsteady, but literally I'd stand up and fall back down again.
This happened years and years ago in quite a popular nightspot.
OP I have sympathy for you but that is completely a hangover.

Yes, but in japan it's more likely that it'd involve one of the following

Giant robots
tentacles
ninjas
Pokemon
even gianter robots
or godzilla

more than you drinking too much and pretending it was spiked.

True, but its also possible that you were extremely stupid and drank a large amount of alcohol. It seems that way.

An ex of mine complained to me once after a night out (I wasn't there) that she had gotten spiked. I didn't believe it, she drank pretty strong drinks most of the time. More likely that she just got plastered.
