How To Know If Your Drink Has Been Drugged, Do These 3 Things For Your Safety


When they say your drink has been drugged,it simply implies when someone deliberately adds alcohol or another drug to your drink without your knowledge.



People usually put drugs in drinks as a prank to get someone drunk or high, but sometimes it is used to assault or rob someone.

Why don’t we hear about drugging of drinks anymore?

Incidents are under-reported. Often victims think that people won’t believe them, especially if they have been drinking or taken drugs.

How to prevent your drink from being drugged.



When you’re out at a pub, club or party, watch your drinks.

Other actions can include:

Avoid sharing drinks,if someone you don’t know well offers you a drink, go to the bar with them.

Many people have their drinks drugged by someone they know; to avoid this, buy or pour your own drinks.

Keep an eye on your friends and their drinks.

How to know if your drink has been drugged.



If your drink has been drugged you may not be able to see, smell or taste it. The drug or extra alcohol may be colourless and odourless and may not affect the taste of your drink.

Warning signs include:

feeling dizzy or faint.

feeling ill or sleepy.

feeling drunk even if you think you've only had a little alcohol to drink.

passing out.

waking up feeling uncomfortable and confused, with memory blanks about the night before.

Do these three things for your safety.

If you think your drink has been spiked, you can:

1. Ask someone you trust to help you get to a safe place

2. If you feel unwell or have been assaulted, go to the emergency department of the nearest hospital

3. Ask your doctor to test for the presence of drugs. Urine or blood tests can pick up traces of certain drugs up to 24 hours later.

What do people use to drug drinks?



Most of the time, drinks are spiked with alcohol. Either the drink is stronger than you think, or someone has added extra alcohol.

Despite recent media reports, drink spiking with drugs like GHB and Rohypnol® is very rare. Alcohol is a far more common way to spike drinks. Drugs that are used to spike drinks are usually depressants that make you act like you are drunk, or just about to pass out.
