I was spiked at 18. Woke up in someone's car without pants. Nothing had happened, I came to just before. I was lucky. It's been 25 years and I won't forget, ever.

The effects of a spiked drink can be horrible. It happend to two friends of mine. One of them noticed the onset of the drug and got them home safe. But it turned out the other friend had been abused as a child, and because of the drugs she spend the next 10 hours cowering under a table while vividly reliving this abuse.

I'm all for education, but I think that's a pretty weak argument. I'm much more in favor of all bars/clubs having cctv and complimentary test strip to .are sure your drink is safe. As a man, I will say that most men don't need to be "taught" to not try to sexually assault women. Drugging someone is a deeply disturbing thing to do and I don't believe that people who somehow thing it's ok just need to be educated. They need to be caught, incarcerated, and sterilized.

My little sister had her drink spiked once. She said she felt super drunk and very sleepy afterwards. Thank goodness she was with a group of responsible friends who noticed something was up and got her out of there. I get the shivers just thinking about it.

What a GREAT WARNING! Every man should be shown this with his parents to see how much damage this does to women. That way he will not do it and will report his friends that do. ALSO hunt down the man who did this and be sure to make every man watch the perp walk and the trial.

Men are scum. F*****g awful scum. Yes, #notallmen and all that, but there are a S**t-load of scummy men out there and a s**t-load more of their buddies that know what's going on and don't say anything.

My male cousin was once drugged like that. He never left his drink unattended but somehow in the crowd someone spiked it and he ended passing out on an empty bus

If you can’t get a date without getting a girl/boy drunk or drugged, then you don’t deserve a date because you’re a sorry, low, piece of human garbage. It’s not fun. It’s not harmless. You can kill people via the drug itself or a resulting accident because that person loses control. Despicable.

Um..why is she moving like that??I've never seen someone be spiked or know what it's like,how does it like do whatever it does to your mind,idk

My sister was spiked when she was 19 and out clubbing. She said the same, being completely aware of what was happening but having no control of her body. Luckily her friends called a "night bus" a portable medical centre that drives around clubbing areas and they picked her up. My mum says she looked dead when they saw her and the only person she would/could respond to was my dad. 12 years later she still has nightmares about feeling so powerless over her own body and refuses to drink alcohol outside of her own home

The manufacturers of these substances need to do something that make the drugs immediately noticeable. Like they set off metal detectors or glow really brightly and give off a bright beam when exposed to air. Anything to make it blatantly obvious exactly who is carrying them.

What are they spiking the drinks with?

Man, I hate this stuff. At one of our local goth and gay clubs, one guy had drugged a few people, RIGHT AT THE BAR. They caught the guy but I don't know what happened to him. Thankfully, it did not go on for very long because he was so brazen. I don't drink (no judgement) but I will continue to drink my sodas in the car.

I wish people in the comments would remember "out of 900 respondents, 44% of men and 56% of women said they’ve unknowingly had their drink spiked." This happens to both Men and Women, women in higher numbers, but not by that much. And to say all perpetrators are Men, like many comments suggest, is a guess. I don't mean to be particular about this, but when I see people saying Men and Boys need to be educated this is not the right thing to do, my logic says EVERYONE needs to be taught this. Because Women and Girls do this kind of thing as well. Sociopathy is not inclusive to Men only. There's tons across the board no matter what gender it is.

My mother taught me in the late 1960s to NEVER leave your drink unattended, and keep your hands over the opening if it's in a glass. Just like looking both ways before crosdiing a street, this should be taught to everyone - both males and females. Always look out for yourself. Nobody else is going to, and no way too know who to trust, especially strangers

That's messed up.

I was spiked about a decade ago. Two women were talking about forcing sex on a man, and I told the bartender about it, and move. I decide on a second beer while ordering my food, and the rest of the night was a slideshow. In the weeks following, I remember the bartender vigorously encouraging me to have a shot of something that was apparently really terrible, I dry heave at the bar, I collapse in the bathroom and I'm walked back to my seat, I pay a $26 tab (half of it was a tip) and the bartender walks me to my car and wishes me good luck getting home. I wreck my car less than a block from the bar, get arrested, and I don't really come out of it until midday the next day. Even then it took about a full day to get past the brain fog. I got a DUI. I also sued the bar and they closed, and got to do some talks about it to raise awareness of drugs, drinking, and driving.

my drink was spiked by a cop from Orange PD when I went to a party at a Sargeants house. He molested me while driving me home.

Just shows what dirty minded sods are wondering around. No need to rape someone these days just spike their drink, if it kills then, move on, highly unlikely you will be caught..

Men aren't immune either - one of the most prolific rapists in the history of the U.K. preyed on men by spiking their drinks. Don't let your drink out of your sight!

With what?

What the HELL? What kind of drug does that?? Seriously, I've never seen anyone act like that, it's like she has a particular disease, I can't think of the name. Has anyone ever seen a reaction like this? I thought spiked drinks just make you really out of it, like extra drunk.

Yeah no. 1) I'm no doctor, but I never ever heard of spiked drinks making you act in that cinematic horror movie way. No, spiked drinks make you faint and that's it. 2) What kind of mother sees her daughter like this and the first thing in her mind is "yep, I'm gonna record this and show it to strangers online?".

THIS IS FAKE. IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THERE WERE NO DRUGS IN HER SYSTEM. Let me repeat: this is a super attention-seeking mom and daughter couple. I'm amazed most comments here thought this wasn't fake. 1) No spiked drink would give her that body reaction. 2) Her mom's first idea when her daughter is sick is to record her and share online? Guys, spiked drinks are bad, BUT THIS IS A MENTALLY DISTURBED INDIVIDUAL WHO'S FAKING IT.
