Wow. This thread took an unexpected turn.
I was a bar manager for 6 years so have seen all kinds of drunkeness. I met my wife at uni and have seen her in a state but, like I said, this was different.
My personal story of drink spiking was as a barman and seeing a girl being helped out the door by two guys. She was apparently paraletically (sp?) drunk. I’d been serving her so knew she had only had one glass of wine. I raced over to them just as they got to the door / doormen, shouted something like ‘she’s not drunk’ and the two men dropped her on the floor and sprinted up the road. Her drink had been spiked. Not sure what with but confirmed by the police when they took my statement and our CCTV footage.
Yes, alcohol’s the most common drug to spike a drink with. Rohypnol and GHB are the next most common, IIRC.
I bet drink spiking is often blamed to get teenagers / young adults off the hook. Her parents live on the other side of the world so no lying was necessary. She’s also nearly 40!
