Drink Spiking

[EmilyMiller]

Pretty sure this happened to me over the weekend. I had been drinking, but felt like I then got drunk very quickly. I had a hangover for most of two days. Never felt like that before and I do take a drink everyone now and then.

Any other explanations? Am Ijust getting too old (25) to drink?

Em

Never leave a drink unattended. Throw it out if you forget.

Empty stomach and any other drugs, even otc can affect your drinking results

 

[Garnate]

Yes, sadly, you're too old to drink now. At 25 your body starts to decompose, which kicks up steam by your 26th. RIP.

I was with a group of girlfriends. I think there was at least a couple of people at our table for most of the time.

I was think that must be the case.

Wow, that is crazy. I still drink at 46. Anyway hun. Always have your drink with you. If you need to leave it, but another later. Your safety is worth a little hassle

We weren’t off dancing. It was just a bunch of girls sitting and chatting at a table (OK maybe rather loudly). Don’t get it, but have never had a two day hangover and have never got so drunk so quickly.

There are a lot of creepy guys. Please just watch out for yourself

Don’t know whether to be more saddened or worried TBH. None of my friends had the same symptoms, though one said she had something like it before. It was her who got me thinking about being roofied.

Ye

Yeah it can be scary out there. Feel free to dm me if you want to chat more hun

Sarcasm aside, what did you eat before?
A friend of mine was sick for almost a week after dinner at a Mexican place. She said it felt more like a hangover than food poisoning, but all she did was eat there.

 

[EmilyMiller]

Not food poisoning. I’ve had bad food poisoning and it lasted a while. This was different. Everyone shared plates. No one else was ill.

 

[ToPleaseHim]

Garnate sighting!

It's okay to trust your gut feeling on this because it's a prevalent situation that happens to women in particular. Even bartenders themselves have been known to be in on it.

but it also begs the question, unless someone was deliberately being malicious in targeting you specifically or even randomly, who stood the chance to gain something out of you being roofied?

You came to a dinner at a spot with a group of friends and were obviously going to leave with them. Nobody outside of your group is breaking that circle. What was to be gained by a stranger's efforts in slipping something into your drink if they can't access your person?

But as said before, sometimes some people like fucking with others because they can and it doesn't need to have any deeper meaning than them just having that ability to do so, and them doing so because their souls are shit. Whatever the reason, don't allow this to keep you from enjoying socializing. It means being more aware, but you deserve to have adult fun like anyone else, whether with friends or hanging solo.

I think guys hedge their bets most of the time. I went to the bar and ended up having 2 beers before leaving. An hour later (at home) I was falling all over the place and woke with a killer hangover. I hadn't been talking to anyone but girlfriends before I left.

Garnate sighting!

I think those wild fires have driven her out of her normal habitat

Motive and opportunity. Incels love rohypnol.
I'd treat it as a warning and drain your glass before you leave it - that way you know you're just drunk!

 

[FataMorgana]

Yeah never leave your drink unattended. My dear old dad always said:

1) Keep hold of your drink as some fecker might slip you a Mickey Finn
2) Check your tyres regularly
3) Hit first ask questions later.

 

[FataMorgana]

It used to be you could buy a tray of drinks and give them out to the girls you found appealing.

Then you’d just stand back and wait.

(Not for the drugs to kick in.)

But for one or more to make her way over to express her gratitude.

Like fish in a barrel.

Not for the drugs to kick in!

This cunt again.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Why I always use a sippy cup.

 

[DreamingOfMyEx]

Much good advice here (especially using a sippy cup - brilliant!) but there's also some danger involved in focusing on one theory and not giving thought to the other possibilities.

Could have been the bartender...have seen that happen before (and called the guy out on it). Always watch your drink, from when you order it until you get it.

Yes, I agree. Don't rule out the bartender.

Maybe get checked for diabetes

Are you on any kind of meds?
