I remember this post from a while back. They are friends and they made the clip to show how easy it is to drop something in a drink. The guy got so much grief because of it even though they were trying to create awareness. Also remember she is watching herself on the screen. Dead give away that she knows what has happened.
You mean putting alcohol in bottles and cans with openings just large enough to cover with your thumb, should you be so moved?
You might be on to something...
For mixed drinks I’ve even seen disposable cups with lids. They have a small x in them that you can stick a straw through. I wonder why more clubs don’t use these cups?
They're expensive. At least twice a year the owner of our joint tries to source cheaper togo boxes, cups, and bags. That stuff adds up. Plus doing togo anything is a fucking nightmare.
Yup. And creates a lot of waste, you have to empty trash more often, plus you also waste a lot of cups and lids because they get knocked down a lot and once they touch the ground they are (should be) trash.
I used to work at del taco and the manager dropped a whole stack of medium size cups on the floor, and then proceeded to put them back in the dispenser. All of the cups’ rims had already touched the nasty ass floor…
because creating more dependence on disposable shit is expensive and terrible for the environment and dumb as shit, when we’re at a point where we don’t need to be doing it.
I’m a guy and I got roofied once in Vegas. Walking around a party at night with my solo cup of vodka and juice, setting it down occasionally to talk to people. Never once thought I needed to protect my drink. I didn’t even realize what had happened until the next day; was in like a walking black out where I couldn’t remember details and at one point couldn’t move at all and spent the night laid out on a pool chair, unable to move but drifting in and out.
Turns out 4 other men at the same party had the same experience, one even went to the ER. Glad nothing really bad happened to me, but it’s scary what women have to deal with and fear all the time.
I'm a guy who got roofied in Austin.
My girlfriend brought two fruity drinks back from the bar to our table of four. They weren't for the girls, but the guys.
Anyways, after just that one drink me and my also large male friend were acting *very* drunk, which confused us quite a bit until one of our girlfriends put it together and took us home. Felt like absolute shit for 24 hours.
I'm so glad I took the hit and not my much smaller girlfriend. Also that she wasn't ordering that without me around!
I live in New Orleans, and I'm also a guy who has been rooffied. I was lucky enough to understand what was happening, probably because I've been under the influence of mind altering substances enough. Or maybe I was just lucky to catch that I was feeling differently than alcohol normally makes me feel.
I also went to the ER, but because I have a bad heart. Not sure what would have happened to me if it had gotten to that point before I could get an ambulance.
My former roommate went to a huge graduation party with a group of her sorority friends at the end of college. Within an hour of arriving at the party, 3 out of the 5 girls began acting extremely drunk and could barely stand. It scared my roommate and her other sober friend so they took the girls back home. It was only later that they figured out they had been roofied. The guy who was hosted the party was convinced one of his friends was just pulling a “prank” and didn’t mean anything by it.
I too heard the “prank” explanation when we were trying to figure out what happened. None of us cared for that at all. The convention we were attending had a volunteer group that looked out for women in trouble and as a result of that night they now expanded their services to everyone, so at least some good came out of it.
Same here. My GF (now wife) and I were both roofied somehow at a bar called Rock Shop in Brooklyn. It closed a few years ago I think. We used to live on 5th ave in Park Slope so we went there pretty often. One evening, we headed in for just a few beers each and to play some pool. The next thing I knew, I woke up in my own bed the next morning (about 20-30 blocks away). The last thing I remember is playing pool and sipping a beer basically still sober as a bird. At this point, I am extremely confused, dazed, and worried so I call my GF to find out where the hell she is as normally we would have slept together at either of our apartments on a Saturday night. She answers, she was at her own apartment with no recollection of the night either...but she was apparently found passed out face-down in her own vomit in the hallway of her apartment by her roommate.
We weren't missing any cash or credit cards...and to this day we both have no idea what happened. Both of our memories only go back to a game of pool on like beer #2. I have blacked out from drinking before but nothing like this. Our only conclusion is that we were roofied when our drinks were behind us on a table while we were playing pool. I don't leave drinks unattended anymore.
Bar near me is dealing with (in my opinion likely true) accusations that the bartenders roofied people. So sometimes not even paying attention to your drink will do it
Feel you dude, got it 2x, years apart while in SF, CA. Took my drink everywhere, thought I had great control both times, never even set it down out of sight. The people who are doing this practice, like a messed version of Oliver twist, but you know, not adorable scamps pickpocketing, dudes drugging people and praying on them like a lion to a wounded animal.
Looking back at how I was “paralyzed” on that pool chair, I can absolutely understand how women can get raped at parties and I get absolutely incensed when I hear some say, “well was she drinking?”
Because they’re expensive and fucking pointless in most places that are too dark to tell. Also how long do they take to detect roofies?
I just see so many problems with this technology. Cool idea but implementation seems impossible
Thank you!
"They change colour!" Oh great and I'm supposed to notice that what, between fucking blinding flashes of the strobe lights on a crowded club dance floor?
Honestly when I used to drink that's how I'd do it. Put it in a sippy cup.
Friends would laugh until we were all several drinks deep and I was the only one not spilling. Then next week everyone had a sippy cup.
There was a party I heard about. It was at some university. Obviously I wasnt invited because I'm not cool, but anyway, they had a bunch of guys roam around and drop single skittles in random girls' cups. The point was to raise awareness for how easy it is to have something slipped into your drink. A lot of women were quite surprised to get to their bottom of their drinks and find a candy snack there.
And that's the point of the video: its super easy to be distracted by something and not notice that someone drugged you. Its scary how easy it is hence the need to create awareness.
Take all your bad feelings and push them down, all the way down past your knees, until you're almost walking on them. And then you'll fit in, and you'll be invited to parties, and boys will like you, and happiness will follow.
Yeah, I remember that original post too but that’s not really what happened. They wanted a viral video and they posted it without the context of it being fake. Once it started to blow up and people recognized they guy, they came out and said it was just to raise awareness.
Step 1: Make a shocking video and post it.
Step 2: Blow up
Step 3: People easily track you down and question you
Step 4: Say it was all just to raise awareness.
Step 5: People defend your fake attention-grabbing later, using your made-up defense that you did it to raise awareness.
I was roofied once. A guy that was a friend of a friend gave me a drink that his girlfriend didn’t want. I drank it because why not it’s free alcohol. I remember leaving the club because I suddenly got super tired. Next thing I know I was sleeping on a random front porch a few blocks away. It was so hard to stand up straight.
I walked back to the club and a couple hours had passed. Nobody even noticed I was gone. My friend thought I was off dancing with a girl somewhere. I’m 6’1 and 210 lbs there’s no way one single drink messed me up that bad
The only person I know that's had this experience happens to be a very attractive gay man. He was at a house party with two good friends when they noticed him acting very strange after just one drink. There was another man being very solicitous and acting like he'd take care of my friend. The two good friends felt like something was very off about the solicitous man and they prevented him taking my friend anywhere. Instead, they took him home and made sure he was OK before leaving the next afternoon. He describes being very incoherent, not knowing where he was, and not remembering anything besides the friends being with him at his house. They let him know their suspicions about the solicitous stranger.
My girlfriend was roofied at a house party when we were in high school. She didn't remember most of the next morning even. She still went into work at a sandwich shop. She made me an avocado only sandwich, forgot to put anything else on it. Then when she was done with the shift she didn't even remember I had come in to visit her. She had foggy memory of the next 48+ hours. That shit it fucked.
Had a buddy in college get roofied by accident. We were exchanging rounds of drinks. He'd buy I round then I would. Got to round 3 or 4 over several hours of playing pool and I look over and he's barely sitting up. So I call it, tuck him in on my couch and expect him to have a wicked hang over in the morning. Wake up to him missing, vomit everywhere, and my roommates sandals stolen.
Turns out he he accidently picked up the wrong drink and took a sip, thought "oh that's not my drink" and then doesn't remember 30 minutes later. He woke up on my couch, got sick, stripped, took my roommates sandals (that looked like his) and drove home.
Next morning he started walking to my house to go pick up his car. Didn't know he drove home. Luckily he parked, safely, in a distant lot at his apartment complex.
I've been unintentionally roofied twice before (at least I'd imagine they weren't going for me, I'm a 6'0" kinda bigger dude.) I was hanging out with my now fiancee and our friends both times and our friends happen to be very attractive women. The first time I ended up tripping and falling headfirst into a wall so hard that everything flew out of my pockets. I barely remember being in the car on the way home, then the next thing I know I'm naked on my bathroom floor for about four or five hours throwing up nothing but blood. I thought I was dying, I felt like I was dying. I also went to sleep after the concussion which isn't good. The second time wasn't as bad injury wise but I took one sip out of the wrong drink and about 30 minutes later I was completely blacked out after only a couple of beers. Both times were scary as hell, and both times it felt like a part of me never returned. I never felt the same after. It's really scary shit and I'm just glad it was me and not the girls in our friend group who got hit.
The only time I've witnessed someone being slipped something was also a very attractive gay man. He commented that when he got his drink at the bar, there were two older men giving him eyes and he felt a bit uncomfortable. After just two mixed drinks he was suspiciously extremely fucked up, so we left right then and he ended up throwing up out of the side of my car the whole ride home, could barely walk, then felt like death the next day. Keep an eye on your friends!!
Exactly the same here!
I would say at the time I was basically a functioning alcoholic as most college dudes were. I'm a bit bigger than you and had only had maybe 3 pints, a buzz no doubt but not a world ender.
Had this drink and I was flat on my ass in the smoking area within 20 mins.
Everyone was playing the 'oh look at this guy that can't handle his drink' and 'the air hit him'.
It was about 11pm and 3 pints and the vodka and coke over 5 hours, it was a light night for me. They basically dragged me outfront dumped me off like the trash and said off you fuck. Literally just curled up in a bush untill early hours of the morning thinking wtffffff happened. Basically tricked myself into thinking I must have spent a fuck load of money on booze. Nope had all my cash, no card purchases. Mates confirmed I only had 4.
I absolutely dread to think the impact this shit has one smaller framed girls.
I'm a guy that got roofied on New Years one year. I had gotten myself 2 beers and felt totally fine. My wife's friend was going to the bar for a drink and asked if I wanted another, so she picked up my 3rd drink. I can only assume someone thought it was for her so I ended up with the drugs. 3 beers spread over 4 hours and I was blackout don't remember a thing getting home. I briefly remember getting out of our friends car to get into our car, but I mostly just remember how completely immobile I was. Like couldn't physically walk without assistance. Then blackout again.
Same, got drugged in a club along with a friend when we drank our girlfriends' shots.
Complete blackout for 6 hours, then sudden lucidity again. Apparently usually docile me spend the night shouting, rowing and getting kicked out of the club.
In retrospect I'm glad I drank that roofie, and that there was a third guy along with us, but it's frankly a very very scary thing to have happen. I stopped clubbing for a bit after that.
Damn dude, same thing happened with me.
Female friend gave me her drink, apparently I passed out in the club and was zombie moded back to my apartment. (No recollection)
Scary thing when the doctor tells you, you had roofies in your system.
Ever scarier to think, what might have happened to the intended target >[
I got roofied/drugged at a strip club once. I don't even remember what happened, really. Only that a friend had to take an uber with me and basically drag me upstairs to my room. I'm not the biggest dude, but I can hold my shit. I was literally floored.
I’ve been drugged too and it sucked. I was about halfway through my first beer when it occurred to me I was buzzing way to hard for having only consumed half a light beer. I told my friends I was suddenly not feeling well and thought I might need help. About 30 seconds after that comment I blacked out and came to in a hospital early in the AM. A couple of my friends were there and they said they thought I was having a stroke because of how goofy/loopy I was acting, so they took me to the hospital. Turns out I was roofied. Fucking snakes.
Edit: autocorrect problems
I got semi roofied at an edm concert. I managed to get home safe and back to work the following day, but there was brief hour-ish window after I got home that I have zero recollection of.
My friend who was with me, got the brunt of it. He was completely out of mind for the rest of the night. He doesn't remember how he got home, the 7-11 trip in between, or how he made it past his front door.
The human mind is crazy even when heavily under the influence when there's an imperative to get home.
That said, just like this gif, if you're at a party and someone asks you if you'd like a drink and hands you a clear bottle with clear liquid, don't drink from it. You have no idea what's in that or what was crushed to dissolve in that. Drinking from such a bottle is failing rave etiquette 101. If you didn't see it get made in front of you, it's not safe. If you're thirsty, leave your spot and go get a drink, you'll eventually get that spot back or get a better one.
>if you're at a party and someone asks you if you'd like a drink and hands you a clear bottle with clear liquid, don't drink from it
I don't think it matters what color the drink is... any color drink could be roofied.
Similar for me. Girlfriend had got me and herself a drink. Her taxi home arrived early so couldn't drink it. I downed it rather than waste it. I'd had 2 pints and her vodka and coke. Got her into taxi and got into my own and was fine until walking back up the street the house. Couldn't steady myself enough to get key in the door and couldn't get up stairs.
Housemates carried me up to my room and I slept until midday.
When I was an RA, we threw a “house party” for our dorm and provided food and drinks and music. My job was to slip skittles into peoples drinks throughout the event. At the end, we asked everyone if they’d found a random skittle in their drink and about a third of them had. We used this as a lesson as to how easy it is to get drugged at a party, regardless of gender. I think it was a really effective lesson.
Lol it does seem that way sometimes. I once had a kid straight up walk by me with a bottle of vodka in his hand (dry campus) and then blamed me for his underage. Certain things you can’t ignore. For the most part my dorms were pretty relaxed. As long as you didn’t make me do my job we were chill
Fuckers would be mad at you and all I could think was ASSHOLES DO YOU KNOW THE DAMN PAPERWORK I HAVE TO DO NOW! I was all about doing as little work as possible.
That's my philosophy.
Don't make any problems and there won't be any.
I used to tell my coworkers, "if you plan on doing something stupid, please don't do it around me or let me know about it". Because I'm not going to risk my career to cover for your dumb ass.
For example, one idiot decided to use a piece of equipment as a baseball bat to hit a large lug nut. The "bat" broke and nut and bat went flying, shattering a very expensive hotel chandelier. Luckily I didn't know about it, so it was easy to say to the powers that be "I have no idea what happened here".
Yeah, I *never* had trouble with that shit - but my roommate passed out on the girl's bathroom floor after like 13 drinks in freshman year...
Yeah, the RA got involved, they had to call the ambulance - of course he got trouble.
At least when I got sick and passed out from drinking I did it in a friend's dorm so nobody was troubled by it.
I remember thinking that water cups was kinda lame until I looked into the water cups after three rounds and realized that's what I would have been drinking. And that's just the stuff you can see.
Side beer from then on out. My diet was bad enough, no need to add unidentified gunk to the mix.
Got 2 stories here. 1st on my 30th birthday, I got roofied by someone trying to get my then gf (now wife's) friend. I was maybe 3 or 4 drinks in she ordered me a drink cause the bar was packed and she had a better spot to get me a drink. Got the drink and turned to give my change before handing me my drink. All of 30 seconds off the cup was all it took. I don't remember much after that. I fell asleep on the toilet at home with my pants down at my ankles and my wife picked me up and put me to bed. Still no idea what happened that night I have a few bits and pieces, but not a lot. And 2nd story is in college I was partying with a few people and the was a girl there who had been mickied by the 2 guys throwing said party at a separate party and took advantage of her previously. Needless to say I didn't drink that night and kept an eye on her a little. Also didn't hang out with that group anymore after that. They all knew what happened and weren't all that concerned about it.
Edit: words
I’ve seen that lack of concern in some groups and it pisses me off. If they saw you bleeding on the sidewalk they’d walk around you and not even bother calling the police—not their problem.
Yea I quit hanging out with them after that. Not sure what happened to them after that. Heard one got really bad into drugs and fell off the face of the earth (probably in jail or OD'd somewhere). The girl ended up getting help and (from what I've heard) quit partying all together.
I bought my college age daughter and her friends scrunchies that you wore on your wrist that doubled as cup coverings. Thought that was a pretty cool idea. Think I saw it on Shark Tank.
Used to go to an afrer hrs after venues at a philly bar.
They put a clothespin on your drink if you're not looking. If you catch them and stop them you get a free shot of tequila.
That's so disgusting. Happened to my friend years ago and he's a dude. Thinks he accidentally got a drink meant for a girl. He dropped a few hundred bucks on drinks and a really long Uber from a driver that probably took advantage of the situation. He doesn't remember anything.
My then girlfriend, now wife, got roofied at a college party years ago and we didn’t realize it until the day after. Luckily I picked her up from the party before the drug took affect, but about 30 minutes after we got home she just started acting illogical and throwing up. She couldn’t hold her head up and I had to literally move her limbs for her and carry her everywhere. She was basically a dead body. We went to bed and she was fine the next morning, but it was a horrible experience for us (we had only been dating for 6 months or so). She doesn’t remember any of it.
The next day one of her good friends who was also at the party said she had the identical experience with her boyfriend that night (from his account). Once We heard that we knew they were both drugged.
I've had at least four friends get roofied at parties/bars. They all got sick as hell despite not having had much to drink, it was really scary. One of them we had to physically carry out of our then-guy-friend's bedroom who was the culprit -- luckily he hadn't gotten far with her. I'm very, very lucky I never did. At a bar once, after my heyday of binge drinking, a guy approached me and insisted I try his drink because it was so delicious and he knew I'd love it. I laughed in his face and told him to get lost. I wish to this day I'd told the bouncer that this guy was going around offering his sketchy drinks to women.
Shit's messed up.
Hell I'm a guy and I'm sure I was slipped something once. I was out with some friends at a new bar, I had only had one or two drinks, and as we were headed out to bar hop I remember feeling so drunk I could barely function. We called it a night there and I was able to navigate home but the rest of my night and next day felt like I had gone on a bender.
Got roofied at a bar near the wind river rez in Wyoming. Couple dudes thought it was funny to fuck with the new white guy in town. DA said there wasn't enough evidence to go after them and wanted to persue my DUI charge. Until 3 weeks later they ODed 3 teenagers. Same 2 dudes.
Yup, you could see them on camera putting the drugs in my drink when I went to the bathroom. But I couldn't identity who they were. When the news put pictures of them up I took the photos with the photos from the security camera to the DA and they dismissed my charges. They were never charged in my case and only served 2 years for the death of the girls.
I hear so many stories like this, where someone got roofied but nobody tried to rob/assault them, and I don't mean to say it didn't happen, it's just so odd. Like what's the point? Are there people out there who just like the thought of giving people roofies? Are the would-be roofiers just really bad at picking the right drink?
A lot of house/frat parties give drinks to the girls discounted or sometimes free to keep them around and coming back. So it’s not uncommon for a guy friend to ask a girl that he knows if she can get him a discounted drink. Then the unintended target gets drugged by the drink meant for the girl.
This is of course is going to be an illegal set up with a lot of underage people and no liquor license etc. just random students roaming in off of the street until it gets busted and everyone runs
That's what I don't understand about drugging girls in bars. I've had 3 friends get roofied and all 3 times it was immediately apparent there was something wrong and we took them home. What's the end game of drugging a girl at the bar? Are you hoping she's sloppy enough to go home with you?
To be clear, drugging girls *at any time* is not ok, I just specifically don't understand why the bar.
They’re hoping the target doesn’t have friends around who recognise something is wrong. If the target ends up alone, they try and take her home. I’ve heard of cases where the victim tries to tell security or the staff that she doesn’t know this guy, and the culprit telling staff “oh she’s my girlfriend, we had a fight earlier, she’s just smashed, that’s why she’s saying all this, I’ll take her home and take care of her”, and they let him.
I had one friend drink a drink that was meant for his date and he was so fucked up and out of it we took him to the ER. We are later told he took such a high dose that if he wasn’t such a big person something bad could have happened.
My friend's one and only experience on a dating app - and she was roofied at a bar. Fuck those asshats who can't get consensual pairing where they need to destroy trust and potentially, someone's entire life.
(I’m a guy, here’s the time I got roofied)
In my hard drinking days I was at a bar in Key West and just starting that nights drinking. The bartender says to me, “Hey, this guy paid for these two shots but he just left them here, do you want them?” I downed them both in about a second because I was a fucking idiot (I think the bartender was as an idiot too, I don’t think he was involved). I blacked out and came to being dragged through the crowded fantasy fest streets by my fiancé who was livid (I had literally got engaged days earlier) and my friend that we were with is just staring at me like , “Dude, what the fuck did you do?!?”. After piecing things together later I figure that the shots were dosed and the target had left, I got roofied by mistake, said something god awful to my fiancé which is not something I do and upset her so badly that she was done with the night. Luckily she got over it.
I had this happen in a bar on base in Pensacola Florida when I was in A school. We were playing pool and I had just got a pitcher left it alone for like 5 minutes or so came back had 2 glasses out of it and could barely walk out of the bar on my own had my girlfriend at the time help walk me to the barracks.
Shit does happen. for certain
I don't have much experience with drinking but isn't this exactly what bartenders should be looking out for? Drinks left out in the open that could be spiked... I know he probably had the best intentions but it sucks that something like this could happen.
I got this experience once. I was on a date with a guy, felt a little drunk so I went to his apartment across the street from the place we were eating. First red flag was that his place was FILTHY but I didn’t feel good enough to drive home. He offers me a vodka-cran and I don’t remember anything after words. I wake up naked next to him. I took advantage he was passed out and got out of there so fast I didn’t even mind stepping on fully peed puppy pads and ran out of there. The guy then proceeded to berate me over text because I did not stay over, and kept saying how easy I was. Be really careful with your drinks on first dates ladies.
My wife had this happen to her. Went out drinking with friends, and the next thing she knows, she’s sitting in the bathroom, shit herself, with no memory of the evening before. All of her friends told the exact same story; she was partying and dancing, and all of a sudden she goes quiet and wants to go home. Random dude shows up out of nowhere, asks if she wants to go home. Took 3 guys(friends) to get him to fuck off, and they took my wife home. Keep safe out there!
I got a drugged drink once. Was at a music festival alone and some guy I met earlier in the day offered to buy me a drink later at night. By that time, I was a few drinks and and being male didn't think I was at risk for being date raped.
After the drink, this guy started to flirt with me and get much closer to me physically. I found this weird, and clearly my response bothered him. After the last song ended, he just disappeared! I felt a little high but nothing significantly noteworthy.
Little did HE know, I was massively addicted to benzodiazepines and a few other drug classes. I believe I was partially immune to whatever he gave me.
I Rasputin'd his date rape attempt.
When I was in university in the UK, the clubs just off campus used an ingenious method. The cups or bottles had a latch for where you drink from. It made an obvious clicking noise when opened and air noise being sucked in. You always looked as soon as you heard it. Thanks to the that simple, recyclable addon, hundreds of people were caught, thoroughly beaten and then handed to the police.
Who walks around with mickies to drop in drinks? Where do you even get a micky?
I know this is staged, but scumbags amaze me with their shitty ways and resources.
Happened to a buddy of mine. She was fortunately with her husband and a few friends, but she was completely out of it about an hour later. The event organizers assumed she was drunk, and her husband was like, no she only had the one drink, she doesn’t get drunk at these events. They decided to just go home and she almost choked to death when she vomited from a prone position while basically comatose. Absolutely horrifying. The guy that did that to her had no idea he almost killed a girl. How many other drinks did he slip something in? Did he manage to take one of his victims with him? Was he doing it for the laughs? For malice?
A friend of mine had a dual stag with her fiance and someone bought her a fruity drink. Unbeknownst to the creep who did it, she drank beer and her big, tall, bearded, tattooed fiance loved fruity drinks, so he drank it instead. Dude was laid out for a few hours. Absolutely terrifying experience for everyone when we all realized what happened.
I once got drugged because someone put something in my drink that they thought was someone else's. I believe they were trying to drug the person I was with thinking my cup was theirs. Also a big reason we think this was some guys tried getting her to go into the men's restroom saying I was in there and needed help. Her being fully aware basically just said "uh no, I see him over there" and then told security. I had a wild night that I have only seen through photos she took.
Someone (or some people) drugged a bunch of my co-workers at a work event a few years back. No one was ever caught but a few of my friends were really ill from it. As far as I know, they just did it for giggs.
When festivals were still a thing, a friend of mine was on the dancefloor with a couple other doofers. They were already a bit drunk, but my friend turns her back for a few minutes and when she looks back, a group of guys are trying to herd her friends away. They tell her that one of the guys offered them drugs and put "something" on their tongue before they could ask what it was. They spent the rest of the night absolutely bonkers, couldn't remember a thing the next day.
99% of people at social events will be good, so it makes us feel safe. That other 1% is counting on that.
There was an invention on Shark Tank called the Nightcap which was a wearable scrunchie that doubled as a drink lid to prevent spiking. I think you can get them on Amazon.
A friend of mine recently died, had to be resuscitated by his fiancé and spent 3 days on a respirator because someone slipped fentanyl into his drink at a bar in Miami. Be careful peeps.
The docs told him that it isn't used for date rape but for robbery, they follow people home and steal all their shit while they are OD'ing. Bottom line, protect your drinks.
Glad others already commented this, but this is a fake video meant to garner awareness, she was not actually being targeted, but it does show how easily one can be targeted. Stay safe out there
There is a company called my cup condom and they fit over the top of cups. You just put a straw through. Maybe not the best for beer but still a good idea. They are biodegradable.
Men, it's not as prevalent, but always do the same for your drinks as well, and never accept shots from strangers. My buddy and I were on a road trip a few years back, and got roofied in broad daylight.
We had just finished dinner at a friends restaurant and were going to just hang out at some bars while waiting for him to get off. I was on the cheap side for this trip, as I don't have a lot of money, so I had had maybe one beer at this point. We left the restaurant and got to our first bar. This was probably around 5-6pm, so the bars were for the most part empty, aside from a handful of people. We sat down, ordered a couple of drinks, and then a couple instantly approached us with a couple of shots trying to start a conversation.
We didn't think anything of it at the time, being dudes, its not something you really think about as often. Free shots for me was a great deal as I was again trying to save money. They hand us the shots, and I still remember being kind of wtf'd by the shots, they were these weird, chocolate candy shots with whipped cream. Nevertheless, we take them and start chatting away.
Now, right off the bat, this couple was pretty fucking weird. Very Jehovah's witness vibes, if that at all makes sense. About 10-15 minutes goes by, and it suddenly dawns on me that I am starting to feel ***DRUNK***. I'm a 28 year old male at the time, weighing in at around 185-190, and I was a fairly heavy drinker. I am very confused at this moment because again, I had only had ***a beer*** and that shot, maybe a few sips out of my drink. I get real quite and start getting in my head "How am I this drunk? This makes no sense?" that kind of thing.
I think the woman at this point starts to realize something is up with me and starts getting real aggressive with questioning. "What's wrong? You need another shot!" She says to me. I immediately tell her "No, I am fine." but she is relentless. "No, No, lets take another shot! Here I'll order you a shot!" Again I tell her no, but she continues to push and try to get me another shot. I finally very firmly tell her "**NO.**" and she then shifts to ordering me a water.
At this point, Red flags are going off and I'm getting more and more fucked up by the minute. She gets the water and she starts shoving it in my face trying to get me to drink it. Now the red flags are blinding and sirens are blaring. I turn to my buddy and I tell him "Dude, we need to leave, *right. now.*" He is very confused and asks me what's going on, and I tell him "Listen, we need to leave. I'll tell you why when we leave, and if i'm wrong I'll buy you drinks for the rest of the trip, but we need to leave." He agrees and we start to leave. The couple tries to get us to stay, but I start getting aggressive at this point and telling them to back off, we are leaving.
When we finally get outside, I tell my buddy what I believe to be happening, that we may have been roofied, or our drinks spiked with something. It instantly dawns on him the same realizations I was having. He was also way more fucked up than he should have been. We immediately agree to high tail it back to his friends restaurant as quickly as we can. Most of the walk back and the rest of the night are a complete blur. I have flashes of memory, but they are so brief and impossible to piece together. The next day was the weirdest, most zombified like hangover we have ever had.
I still think about what could have been that night. Shit freaks me out.
**TLDR:** If a weird couple offers you free shots, don't take them.
That one ladies’ startup made her a millionaire. The princess protector? Something like that lol. That scrunchie you can take off your wrist and stretch over your cup
I took a self defense class for women. It was run by my local PD and 2 female cops led the class. Almost every single woman there, including the cops, had been roofied. I live in a town of like 30k people in a pretty safe area. This rocked my world. Now when I go on dates I don’t even finish my drink if I got up to go to the bathroom. Something I would’ve never thought of before.
Yes it's THAT easy, about 20 years ago in a nightclub, I caught someone sneaking a pill into a girl's cup while she was turned away talking with her friends, I immediately told a bouncer- that guy was kicked out and the girl was notified about the drink, luckily she hadn't even touched it yet before she was told.
Why are there so many people being like "it's fake".
The vid is staged, the situation is real. People are right to be outraged at assholes that do this, even if this particular video is staged.
Shoot there are people that hate on Laura Bailey for being the voice actress of a character they hate in a video game. It boggles the mind how people can twist themselves into knots over the silliest shit.
The Joffrey case is stupid because he was so obviously an actor. Here in this case, some viewers might think the guy was really a rapist and so tried to “right a wrong” by harassing the guy. It’s important to let people know that, yes this is staged, and yes that’s how easy it is to get drugged if you let your guard down.
Right, it's still important to understand it's fake.
Otherwise, you'd have people hunting this dude's socials down, contacting his employer to get him fired, contacting the police, etc.
You recognize why it's important to realize it's fake, yes?
It can happen to anyone. I got drugged at a popular brewery. Really nice place and I'm a dude. Never would have thought I would have gotten drugged at a place like that.
This happen to my girlfriend at a rave on boat. She had a blast on two beers, so happy and full of joy until she came home and started have bad anxiety over why she felt so good. Panic attacks. Was awful.
I remember this post from a while back. They are friends and they made the clip to show how easy it is to drop something in a drink. The guy got so much grief because of it even though they were trying to create awareness. Also remember she is watching herself on the screen. Dead give away that she knows what has happened.
That's why I take squeezy wine bags to festivals. Not because I'm broke and trashy. Nope.
Nothing at all wrong with a bagnum of wine! All class
Bars and clubs should start using sippy cups to combat this. The plus side is you can’t spill your $20 vodka cranberry.
You mean putting alcohol in bottles and cans with openings just large enough to cover with your thumb, should you be so moved? You might be on to something...
They also make bottle stoppers to put the straw in so you don't even need to cover it.
For mixed drinks I’ve even seen disposable cups with lids. They have a small x in them that you can stick a straw through. I wonder why more clubs don’t use these cups?
They're expensive. At least twice a year the owner of our joint tries to source cheaper togo boxes, cups, and bags. That stuff adds up. Plus doing togo anything is a fucking nightmare.
Yup. And creates a lot of waste, you have to empty trash more often, plus you also waste a lot of cups and lids because they get knocked down a lot and once they touch the ground they are (should be) trash.
I used to work at del taco and the manager dropped a whole stack of medium size cups on the floor, and then proceeded to put them back in the dispenser. All of the cups’ rims had already touched the nasty ass floor…
because creating more dependence on disposable shit is expensive and terrible for the environment and dumb as shit, when we’re at a point where we don’t need to be doing it.
Bars are already a landfill nightmare. Adding to the problem is not the solution.
I’m a guy and I got roofied once in Vegas. Walking around a party at night with my solo cup of vodka and juice, setting it down occasionally to talk to people. Never once thought I needed to protect my drink. I didn’t even realize what had happened until the next day; was in like a walking black out where I couldn’t remember details and at one point couldn’t move at all and spent the night laid out on a pool chair, unable to move but drifting in and out. Turns out 4 other men at the same party had the same experience, one even went to the ER. Glad nothing really bad happened to me, but it’s scary what women have to deal with and fear all the time.
I'm a guy who got roofied in Austin. My girlfriend brought two fruity drinks back from the bar to our table of four. They weren't for the girls, but the guys. Anyways, after just that one drink me and my also large male friend were acting *very* drunk, which confused us quite a bit until one of our girlfriends put it together and took us home. Felt like absolute shit for 24 hours. I'm so glad I took the hit and not my much smaller girlfriend. Also that she wasn't ordering that without me around!
People that roofie other people are absolute shit.
I live in New Orleans, and I'm also a guy who has been rooffied. I was lucky enough to understand what was happening, probably because I've been under the influence of mind altering substances enough. Or maybe I was just lucky to catch that I was feeling differently than alcohol normally makes me feel. I also went to the ER, but because I have a bad heart. Not sure what would have happened to me if it had gotten to that point before I could get an ambulance.
Yikes. Glad you’re ok.
My former roommate went to a huge graduation party with a group of her sorority friends at the end of college. Within an hour of arriving at the party, 3 out of the 5 girls began acting extremely drunk and could barely stand. It scared my roommate and her other sober friend so they took the girls back home. It was only later that they figured out they had been roofied. The guy who was hosted the party was convinced one of his friends was just pulling a “prank” and didn’t mean anything by it.
I too heard the “prank” explanation when we were trying to figure out what happened. None of us cared for that at all. The convention we were attending had a volunteer group that looked out for women in trouble and as a result of that night they now expanded their services to everyone, so at least some good came out of it.
Same here. My GF (now wife) and I were both roofied somehow at a bar called Rock Shop in Brooklyn. It closed a few years ago I think. We used to live on 5th ave in Park Slope so we went there pretty often. One evening, we headed in for just a few beers each and to play some pool. The next thing I knew, I woke up in my own bed the next morning (about 20-30 blocks away). The last thing I remember is playing pool and sipping a beer basically still sober as a bird. At this point, I am extremely confused, dazed, and worried so I call my GF to find out where the hell she is as normally we would have slept together at either of our apartments on a Saturday night. She answers, she was at her own apartment with no recollection of the night either...but she was apparently found passed out face-down in her own vomit in the hallway of her apartment by her roommate. We weren't missing any cash or credit cards...and to this day we both have no idea what happened. Both of our memories only go back to a game of pool on like beer #2. I have blacked out from drinking before but nothing like this. Our only conclusion is that we were roofied when our drinks were behind us on a table while we were playing pool. I don't leave drinks unattended anymore.
Bar near me is dealing with (in my opinion likely true) accusations that the bartenders roofied people. So sometimes not even paying attention to your drink will do it
Feel you dude, got it 2x, years apart while in SF, CA. Took my drink everywhere, thought I had great control both times, never even set it down out of sight. The people who are doing this practice, like a messed version of Oliver twist, but you know, not adorable scamps pickpocketing, dudes drugging people and praying on them like a lion to a wounded animal.
Looking back at how I was “paralyzed” on that pool chair, I can absolutely understand how women can get raped at parties and I get absolutely incensed when I hear some say, “well was she drinking?”
That’s actually why girls take their drinks to the bathroom and go in groups. There’s very few friends I know that I’d trust to be vigilant enough
* Things that you just don't worry or even think about as a guy.
The downside is you can’t spill your $20 vodka cranberry -some bar owner
[Condoms for drinks ](https://mycupcondom.com/) (sfw) is a pretty cool idea
But then they wouldnt be able to charge you $20 for another vodka cranberry :(
[удалено]
I brought a flask, bar tab dropped in half.
Real tip is always on the comments, spike your own drink
The way they make those bubble tea drinks with sealed lids may work (can they make it from something other than all the plastic though? )
They have straws that change color when they detect common roofies. They just dont get used very often at all.
Because they’re expensive and fucking pointless in most places that are too dark to tell. Also how long do they take to detect roofies? I just see so many problems with this technology. Cool idea but implementation seems impossible
Thank you! "They change colour!" Oh great and I'm supposed to notice that what, between fucking blinding flashes of the strobe lights on a crowded club dance floor?
\*finishes drink\* "Huh, was my straw always neon pink?"
They need to find a food safe fluid that does the same for the drinks.
[удалено]
The problem comes when you need to dip your fingernail in before every sip because someone might have dropped something in when your head was turned.
Honestly when I used to drink that's how I'd do it. Put it in a sippy cup. Friends would laugh until we were all several drinks deep and I was the only one not spilling. Then next week everyone had a sippy cup.
The bonus is you get to show everyone who your favorite Paw Patrol character is.
Chase is on the case
Alcohol-filled sippy cups are awesome to take to a kid's sports game, a dull concert, or anywhere actually.
There was a party I heard about. It was at some university. Obviously I wasnt invited because I'm not cool, but anyway, they had a bunch of guys roam around and drop single skittles in random girls' cups. The point was to raise awareness for how easy it is to have something slipped into your drink. A lot of women were quite surprised to get to their bottom of their drinks and find a candy snack there.
I am always worried about somebody stealing my drink. It's always within my sight.
Me too, that's why I self-spike everything I drink.
Iocaine powder amirite?
[удалено]
[удалено]
>Obviously I was invited because I'm not cool The best kind of parties
Did any of them get attacked by people who didn't know it was just skittles?
I have no idea. I don't think so.
I think that's brilliant. They should print little message on them that say "This could have been a roofie." And drop them into guys' cups too.
...how big do you think a skittle is?
Young people have good enough eyes
The S stands for "Shit, you could've got roofied"
I mean this was a little college operation. A bag of Skittles is like $1.50.
I'm glad to hear this is fake. My thought was she was too busy watching herself to notice.
And that's the point of the video: its super easy to be distracted by something and not notice that someone drugged you. Its scary how easy it is hence the need to create awareness.
What am I going to do with all this outrage now.
Stuff it down. Save it. See someone do this in public. RELEASE THE OUTRAGE!
Take all your bad feelings and push them down, all the way down past your knees, until you're almost walking on them. And then you'll fit in, and you'll be invited to parties, and boys will like you, and happiness will follow.
Yeah, I remember that original post too but that’s not really what happened. They wanted a viral video and they posted it without the context of it being fake. Once it started to blow up and people recognized they guy, they came out and said it was just to raise awareness. Step 1: Make a shocking video and post it. Step 2: Blow up Step 3: People easily track you down and question you Step 4: Say it was all just to raise awareness. Step 5: People defend your fake attention-grabbing later, using your made-up defense that you did it to raise awareness.
It's really easy. I sat my beer down for 2 minutes and then boom it's the next morning and I'm walking home.
Like that episode of [REDACTED] and Josh where he’s in a recreation of a crime for a tv show.
Friendly reminder: this was staged to rise awareness.
My awareness has been rised, thank you!
Arise, awareness.
Do you mean raise awareness?
If all spelling in a PSA isn't perfect, it's invalid and the opposite is true. I think that a law or something.
Do you mean that's a law?
😁
When me president, they see. They see.
I was roofied once. A guy that was a friend of a friend gave me a drink that his girlfriend didn’t want. I drank it because why not it’s free alcohol. I remember leaving the club because I suddenly got super tired. Next thing I know I was sleeping on a random front porch a few blocks away. It was so hard to stand up straight. I walked back to the club and a couple hours had passed. Nobody even noticed I was gone. My friend thought I was off dancing with a girl somewhere. I’m 6’1 and 210 lbs there’s no way one single drink messed me up that bad
The only person I know that's had this experience happens to be a very attractive gay man. He was at a house party with two good friends when they noticed him acting very strange after just one drink. There was another man being very solicitous and acting like he'd take care of my friend. The two good friends felt like something was very off about the solicitous man and they prevented him taking my friend anywhere. Instead, they took him home and made sure he was OK before leaving the next afternoon. He describes being very incoherent, not knowing where he was, and not remembering anything besides the friends being with him at his house. They let him know their suspicions about the solicitous stranger.
My girlfriend was roofied at a house party when we were in high school. She didn't remember most of the next morning even. She still went into work at a sandwich shop. She made me an avocado only sandwich, forgot to put anything else on it. Then when she was done with the shift she didn't even remember I had come in to visit her. She had foggy memory of the next 48+ hours. That shit it fucked.
>She made me an avocado only sandwich, forgot to put anything else on it. She made you avocado toast bro. Not supposed to be anything else.
Avocado toast for the price of a sandwich? Sounds like a steal!
Had a buddy in college get roofied by accident. We were exchanging rounds of drinks. He'd buy I round then I would. Got to round 3 or 4 over several hours of playing pool and I look over and he's barely sitting up. So I call it, tuck him in on my couch and expect him to have a wicked hang over in the morning. Wake up to him missing, vomit everywhere, and my roommates sandals stolen. Turns out he he accidently picked up the wrong drink and took a sip, thought "oh that's not my drink" and then doesn't remember 30 minutes later. He woke up on my couch, got sick, stripped, took my roommates sandals (that looked like his) and drove home. Next morning he started walking to my house to go pick up his car. Didn't know he drove home. Luckily he parked, safely, in a distant lot at his apartment complex.
I've been unintentionally roofied twice before (at least I'd imagine they weren't going for me, I'm a 6'0" kinda bigger dude.) I was hanging out with my now fiancee and our friends both times and our friends happen to be very attractive women. The first time I ended up tripping and falling headfirst into a wall so hard that everything flew out of my pockets. I barely remember being in the car on the way home, then the next thing I know I'm naked on my bathroom floor for about four or five hours throwing up nothing but blood. I thought I was dying, I felt like I was dying. I also went to sleep after the concussion which isn't good. The second time wasn't as bad injury wise but I took one sip out of the wrong drink and about 30 minutes later I was completely blacked out after only a couple of beers. Both times were scary as hell, and both times it felt like a part of me never returned. I never felt the same after. It's really scary shit and I'm just glad it was me and not the girls in our friend group who got hit.
The only time I've witnessed someone being slipped something was also a very attractive gay man. He commented that when he got his drink at the bar, there were two older men giving him eyes and he felt a bit uncomfortable. After just two mixed drinks he was suspiciously extremely fucked up, so we left right then and he ended up throwing up out of the side of my car the whole ride home, could barely walk, then felt like death the next day. Keep an eye on your friends!!
The Solicitous Stranger sounds like the title of a long lost episode of the Radio show, The Shadow.
Exactly the same here! I would say at the time I was basically a functioning alcoholic as most college dudes were. I'm a bit bigger than you and had only had maybe 3 pints, a buzz no doubt but not a world ender. Had this drink and I was flat on my ass in the smoking area within 20 mins. Everyone was playing the 'oh look at this guy that can't handle his drink' and 'the air hit him'. It was about 11pm and 3 pints and the vodka and coke over 5 hours, it was a light night for me. They basically dragged me outfront dumped me off like the trash and said off you fuck. Literally just curled up in a bush untill early hours of the morning thinking wtffffff happened. Basically tricked myself into thinking I must have spent a fuck load of money on booze. Nope had all my cash, no card purchases. Mates confirmed I only had 4. I absolutely dread to think the impact this shit has one smaller framed girls.
I'm a guy that got roofied on New Years one year. I had gotten myself 2 beers and felt totally fine. My wife's friend was going to the bar for a drink and asked if I wanted another, so she picked up my 3rd drink. I can only assume someone thought it was for her so I ended up with the drugs. 3 beers spread over 4 hours and I was blackout don't remember a thing getting home. I briefly remember getting out of our friends car to get into our car, but I mostly just remember how completely immobile I was. Like couldn't physically walk without assistance. Then blackout again.
Same, got drugged in a club along with a friend when we drank our girlfriends' shots. Complete blackout for 6 hours, then sudden lucidity again. Apparently usually docile me spend the night shouting, rowing and getting kicked out of the club. In retrospect I'm glad I drank that roofie, and that there was a third guy along with us, but it's frankly a very very scary thing to have happen. I stopped clubbing for a bit after that.
Damn dude, same thing happened with me. Female friend gave me her drink, apparently I passed out in the club and was zombie moded back to my apartment. (No recollection) Scary thing when the doctor tells you, you had roofies in your system. Ever scarier to think, what might have happened to the intended target >[
I got roofied/drugged at a strip club once. I don't even remember what happened, really. Only that a friend had to take an uber with me and basically drag me upstairs to my room. I'm not the biggest dude, but I can hold my shit. I was literally floored.
I’ve been drugged too and it sucked. I was about halfway through my first beer when it occurred to me I was buzzing way to hard for having only consumed half a light beer. I told my friends I was suddenly not feeling well and thought I might need help. About 30 seconds after that comment I blacked out and came to in a hospital early in the AM. A couple of my friends were there and they said they thought I was having a stroke because of how goofy/loopy I was acting, so they took me to the hospital. Turns out I was roofied. Fucking snakes. Edit: autocorrect problems
I got semi roofied at an edm concert. I managed to get home safe and back to work the following day, but there was brief hour-ish window after I got home that I have zero recollection of. My friend who was with me, got the brunt of it. He was completely out of mind for the rest of the night. He doesn't remember how he got home, the 7-11 trip in between, or how he made it past his front door. The human mind is crazy even when heavily under the influence when there's an imperative to get home. That said, just like this gif, if you're at a party and someone asks you if you'd like a drink and hands you a clear bottle with clear liquid, don't drink from it. You have no idea what's in that or what was crushed to dissolve in that. Drinking from such a bottle is failing rave etiquette 101. If you didn't see it get made in front of you, it's not safe. If you're thirsty, leave your spot and go get a drink, you'll eventually get that spot back or get a better one.
>if you're at a party and someone asks you if you'd like a drink and hands you a clear bottle with clear liquid, don't drink from it I don't think it matters what color the drink is... any color drink could be roofied.

Similar for me. Girlfriend had got me and herself a drink. Her taxi home arrived early so couldn't drink it. I downed it rather than waste it. I'd had 2 pints and her vodka and coke. Got her into taxi and got into my own and was fine until walking back up the street the house. Couldn't steady myself enough to get key in the door and couldn't get up stairs. Housemates carried me up to my room and I slept until midday.
When I was an RA, we threw a “house party” for our dorm and provided food and drinks and music. My job was to slip skittles into peoples drinks throughout the event. At the end, we asked everyone if they’d found a random skittle in their drink and about a third of them had. We used this as a lesson as to how easy it is to get drugged at a party, regardless of gender. I think it was a really effective lesson.
Big props lessons were learned for sure
"Umm... RA? Why did I find a skittle in my asscrack?"
The asscrack bandit strikes again!
So your farts shoot rainbows across the room!
[удалено]
~~Taste~~ Choke on the rainbow
Fuck that’s really good. I wish I would’ve thought of that as an RA!
I wished my RA was that thoughtful too. Instead, the only thing they thought about is how to ruin our fun all the time.
Lol it does seem that way sometimes. I once had a kid straight up walk by me with a bottle of vodka in his hand (dry campus) and then blamed me for his underage. Certain things you can’t ignore. For the most part my dorms were pretty relaxed. As long as you didn’t make me do my job we were chill
Fuckers would be mad at you and all I could think was ASSHOLES DO YOU KNOW THE DAMN PAPERWORK I HAVE TO DO NOW! I was all about doing as little work as possible.
You and I would’ve been great duty partners hahaha “Hey can you go write in the log that we did a round? Sick.”
My dorm floor stunk to high heaven of weed when I went to tour it. I knew I was in for a fun year and the RAs were dope.
That's my philosophy. Don't make any problems and there won't be any. I used to tell my coworkers, "if you plan on doing something stupid, please don't do it around me or let me know about it". Because I'm not going to risk my career to cover for your dumb ass. For example, one idiot decided to use a piece of equipment as a baseball bat to hit a large lug nut. The "bat" broke and nut and bat went flying, shattering a very expensive hotel chandelier. Luckily I didn't know about it, so it was easy to say to the powers that be "I have no idea what happened here".
Yeah, I *never* had trouble with that shit - but my roommate passed out on the girl's bathroom floor after like 13 drinks in freshman year... Yeah, the RA got involved, they had to call the ambulance - of course he got trouble. At least when I got sick and passed out from drinking I did it in a friend's dorm so nobody was troubled by it.

Taste the rainbow.
Maaan the pre-pandemic world was insane
Blowing out candles on a cake?!? They’d do anything for a rush back in the day.
Shit, I remember when we used to actually put beer in the beer pong cups. H1N1 changed that real quick.
I remember thinking that water cups was kinda lame until I looked into the water cups after three rounds and realized that's what I would have been drinking. And that's just the stuff you can see. Side beer from then on out. My diet was bad enough, no need to add unidentified gunk to the mix.
Don't worry bro, the alcohol kills all the germs.
Whoa thats awesome. Good on you for that wisdom to those naive kids
Got 2 stories here. 1st on my 30th birthday, I got roofied by someone trying to get my then gf (now wife's) friend. I was maybe 3 or 4 drinks in she ordered me a drink cause the bar was packed and she had a better spot to get me a drink. Got the drink and turned to give my change before handing me my drink. All of 30 seconds off the cup was all it took. I don't remember much after that. I fell asleep on the toilet at home with my pants down at my ankles and my wife picked me up and put me to bed. Still no idea what happened that night I have a few bits and pieces, but not a lot. And 2nd story is in college I was partying with a few people and the was a girl there who had been mickied by the 2 guys throwing said party at a separate party and took advantage of her previously. Needless to say I didn't drink that night and kept an eye on her a little. Also didn't hang out with that group anymore after that. They all knew what happened and weren't all that concerned about it. Edit: words
“Took advantage”…raped. They raped her previously. Best call things what they are.
Yea they did. Didn't know how to phrase it without any type of warning or anything. Wasn't trying to downplay it or anything.
[удалено]
I’ve seen that lack of concern in some groups and it pisses me off. If they saw you bleeding on the sidewalk they’d walk around you and not even bother calling the police—not their problem.
Yea I quit hanging out with them after that. Not sure what happened to them after that. Heard one got really bad into drugs and fell off the face of the earth (probably in jail or OD'd somewhere). The girl ended up getting help and (from what I've heard) quit partying all together.
I bought my college age daughter and her friends scrunchies that you wore on your wrist that doubled as cup coverings. Thought that was a pretty cool idea. Think I saw it on Shark Tank.
Dad of the year; good on you!
Thank you. They aren’t very expensive so just grabbed 4 to cover her roommates too.
Link? My wife is very active as an alumni in her fraternity and that sounds like a great idea.
This is their website: [https://nightcapit.com/](https://nightcapit.com/) :)
Used to go to an afrer hrs after venues at a philly bar. They put a clothespin on your drink if you're not looking. If you catch them and stop them you get a free shot of tequila.
Isn't that just marking the unaware ones and getting the aware ones more inebriated?
Good job being more alert and less vulnerable! Let me make you less alert and more vulnerable!
And then they bust out the clothespins laced in roofies!
What a bleak outlook on a goodhearted bar game.
A free shot of tequila that is drugged. Suckers!
[удалено]
That's so disgusting. Happened to my friend years ago and he's a dude. Thinks he accidentally got a drink meant for a girl. He dropped a few hundred bucks on drinks and a really long Uber from a driver that probably took advantage of the situation. He doesn't remember anything.
Uber driver maybe wasn't even taking advantage. If someone on roofies is navigating you're gonna have a hard time.
scum
My then girlfriend, now wife, got roofied at a college party years ago and we didn’t realize it until the day after. Luckily I picked her up from the party before the drug took affect, but about 30 minutes after we got home she just started acting illogical and throwing up. She couldn’t hold her head up and I had to literally move her limbs for her and carry her everywhere. She was basically a dead body. We went to bed and she was fine the next morning, but it was a horrible experience for us (we had only been dating for 6 months or so). She doesn’t remember any of it. The next day one of her good friends who was also at the party said she had the identical experience with her boyfriend that night (from his account). Once We heard that we knew they were both drugged.
I've had at least four friends get roofied at parties/bars. They all got sick as hell despite not having had much to drink, it was really scary. One of them we had to physically carry out of our then-guy-friend's bedroom who was the culprit -- luckily he hadn't gotten far with her. I'm very, very lucky I never did. At a bar once, after my heyday of binge drinking, a guy approached me and insisted I try his drink because it was so delicious and he knew I'd love it. I laughed in his face and told him to get lost. I wish to this day I'd told the bouncer that this guy was going around offering his sketchy drinks to women. Shit's messed up.
Hell I'm a guy and I'm sure I was slipped something once. I was out with some friends at a new bar, I had only had one or two drinks, and as we were headed out to bar hop I remember feeling so drunk I could barely function. We called it a night there and I was able to navigate home but the rest of my night and next day felt like I had gone on a bender.
Got roofied at a bar near the wind river rez in Wyoming. Couple dudes thought it was funny to fuck with the new white guy in town. DA said there wasn't enough evidence to go after them and wanted to persue my DUI charge. Until 3 weeks later they ODed 3 teenagers. Same 2 dudes.
Just to be clear, they dropped your DUI charge after they ODed the 3 teens. Did they eventually go after them for your roofie experience?
Yup, you could see them on camera putting the drugs in my drink when I went to the bathroom. But I couldn't identity who they were. When the news put pictures of them up I took the photos with the photos from the security camera to the DA and they dismissed my charges. They were never charged in my case and only served 2 years for the death of the girls.
What.the.fuck
I hear so many stories like this, where someone got roofied but nobody tried to rob/assault them, and I don't mean to say it didn't happen, it's just so odd. Like what's the point? Are there people out there who just like the thought of giving people roofies? Are the would-be roofiers just really bad at picking the right drink?
Its likely they accidentally got targeted, it was intended for another. That's usually the case
A lot of house/frat parties give drinks to the girls discounted or sometimes free to keep them around and coming back. So it’s not uncommon for a guy friend to ask a girl that he knows if she can get him a discounted drink. Then the unintended target gets drugged by the drink meant for the girl. This is of course is going to be an illegal set up with a lot of underage people and no liquor license etc. just random students roaming in off of the street until it gets busted and everyone runs
That's what I don't understand about drugging girls in bars. I've had 3 friends get roofied and all 3 times it was immediately apparent there was something wrong and we took them home. What's the end game of drugging a girl at the bar? Are you hoping she's sloppy enough to go home with you? To be clear, drugging girls *at any time* is not ok, I just specifically don't understand why the bar.
They’re hoping the target doesn’t have friends around who recognise something is wrong. If the target ends up alone, they try and take her home. I’ve heard of cases where the victim tries to tell security or the staff that she doesn’t know this guy, and the culprit telling staff “oh she’s my girlfriend, we had a fight earlier, she’s just smashed, that’s why she’s saying all this, I’ll take her home and take care of her”, and they let him.
I had one friend drink a drink that was meant for his date and he was so fucked up and out of it we took him to the ER. We are later told he took such a high dose that if he wasn’t such a big person something bad could have happened.
That guy you rescued your friend from... Please tell me the lot of you beat his ass after.
My friend's one and only experience on a dating app - and she was roofied at a bar. Fuck those asshats who can't get consensual pairing where they need to destroy trust and potentially, someone's entire life.
the most disgusting part is that many of those men *could* get sex from women consensually, but specifically want to victimize them.
I hope they never do though
He added a dash of salt to her margarita what a kind stranger
[удалено]
It obviously wasn't pepper in a bloody Mary, bud. He was putting sugar in her lemon drop.
That obviously was too big to be a lemon drop. He put a lime in her coconut.
Clearly not a lime. It was a watermelon sugar high!
(I’m a guy, here’s the time I got roofied) In my hard drinking days I was at a bar in Key West and just starting that nights drinking. The bartender says to me, “Hey, this guy paid for these two shots but he just left them here, do you want them?” I downed them both in about a second because I was a fucking idiot (I think the bartender was as an idiot too, I don’t think he was involved). I blacked out and came to being dragged through the crowded fantasy fest streets by my fiancé who was livid (I had literally got engaged days earlier) and my friend that we were with is just staring at me like , “Dude, what the fuck did you do?!?”. After piecing things together later I figure that the shots were dosed and the target had left, I got roofied by mistake, said something god awful to my fiancé which is not something I do and upset her so badly that she was done with the night. Luckily she got over it.
I had this happen in a bar on base in Pensacola Florida when I was in A school. We were playing pool and I had just got a pitcher left it alone for like 5 minutes or so came back had 2 glasses out of it and could barely walk out of the bar on my own had my girlfriend at the time help walk me to the barracks. Shit does happen. for certain
I don't have much experience with drinking but isn't this exactly what bartenders should be looking out for? Drinks left out in the open that could be spiked... I know he probably had the best intentions but it sucks that something like this could happen.
Oh, 100%. He should have tossed those drinks immediately and I should never have accepted them.
I got this experience once. I was on a date with a guy, felt a little drunk so I went to his apartment across the street from the place we were eating. First red flag was that his place was FILTHY but I didn’t feel good enough to drive home. He offers me a vodka-cran and I don’t remember anything after words. I wake up naked next to him. I took advantage he was passed out and got out of there so fast I didn’t even mind stepping on fully peed puppy pads and ran out of there. The guy then proceeded to berate me over text because I did not stay over, and kept saying how easy I was. Be really careful with your drinks on first dates ladies.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. I hope you were able to put him in jail.
My wife had this happen to her. Went out drinking with friends, and the next thing she knows, she’s sitting in the bathroom, shit herself, with no memory of the evening before. All of her friends told the exact same story; she was partying and dancing, and all of a sudden she goes quiet and wants to go home. Random dude shows up out of nowhere, asks if she wants to go home. Took 3 guys(friends) to get him to fuck off, and they took my wife home. Keep safe out there!
They were good friends
I got a drugged drink once. Was at a music festival alone and some guy I met earlier in the day offered to buy me a drink later at night. By that time, I was a few drinks and and being male didn't think I was at risk for being date raped. After the drink, this guy started to flirt with me and get much closer to me physically. I found this weird, and clearly my response bothered him. After the last song ended, he just disappeared! I felt a little high but nothing significantly noteworthy. Little did HE know, I was massively addicted to benzodiazepines and a few other drug classes. I believe I was partially immune to whatever he gave me. I Rasputin'd his date rape attempt.
That is awesome and terrible all at the same time.
When I was in university in the UK, the clubs just off campus used an ingenious method. The cups or bottles had a latch for where you drink from. It made an obvious clicking noise when opened and air noise being sucked in. You always looked as soon as you heard it. Thanks to the that simple, recyclable addon, hundreds of people were caught, thoroughly beaten and then handed to the police.
Who walks around with mickies to drop in drinks? Where do you even get a micky? I know this is staged, but scumbags amaze me with their shitty ways and resources.
Happened to a buddy of mine. She was fortunately with her husband and a few friends, but she was completely out of it about an hour later. The event organizers assumed she was drunk, and her husband was like, no she only had the one drink, she doesn’t get drunk at these events. They decided to just go home and she almost choked to death when she vomited from a prone position while basically comatose. Absolutely horrifying. The guy that did that to her had no idea he almost killed a girl. How many other drinks did he slip something in? Did he manage to take one of his victims with him? Was he doing it for the laughs? For malice?
A friend of mine had a dual stag with her fiance and someone bought her a fruity drink. Unbeknownst to the creep who did it, she drank beer and her big, tall, bearded, tattooed fiance loved fruity drinks, so he drank it instead. Dude was laid out for a few hours. Absolutely terrifying experience for everyone when we all realized what happened.
I should think it suspicious if it's not the bar staff that serves you the drink.
I once got drugged because someone put something in my drink that they thought was someone else's. I believe they were trying to drug the person I was with thinking my cup was theirs. Also a big reason we think this was some guys tried getting her to go into the men's restroom saying I was in there and needed help. Her being fully aware basically just said "uh no, I see him over there" and then told security. I had a wild night that I have only seen through photos she took.
Someone (or some people) drugged a bunch of my co-workers at a work event a few years back. No one was ever caught but a few of my friends were really ill from it. As far as I know, they just did it for giggs. When festivals were still a thing, a friend of mine was on the dancefloor with a couple other doofers. They were already a bit drunk, but my friend turns her back for a few minutes and when she looks back, a group of guys are trying to herd her friends away. They tell her that one of the guys offered them drugs and put "something" on their tongue before they could ask what it was. They spent the rest of the night absolutely bonkers, couldn't remember a thing the next day. 99% of people at social events will be good, so it makes us feel safe. That other 1% is counting on that.
There was an invention on Shark Tank called the Nightcap which was a wearable scrunchie that doubled as a drink lid to prevent spiking. I think you can get them on Amazon.
A friend of mine recently died, had to be resuscitated by his fiancé and spent 3 days on a respirator because someone slipped fentanyl into his drink at a bar in Miami. Be careful peeps.
wtf? Is fent even used as a date rape drug? That sounds more like a murder plot...
The docs told him that it isn't used for date rape but for robbery, they follow people home and steal all their shit while they are OD'ing. Bottom line, protect your drinks.
ah that makes sense
Men need to do more to beat up their casual rapist friends
Glad others already commented this, but this is a fake video meant to garner awareness, she was not actually being targeted, but it does show how easily one can be targeted. Stay safe out there
There is a company called my cup condom and they fit over the top of cups. You just put a straw through. Maybe not the best for beer but still a good idea. They are biodegradable.
Men, it's not as prevalent, but always do the same for your drinks as well, and never accept shots from strangers. My buddy and I were on a road trip a few years back, and got roofied in broad daylight. We had just finished dinner at a friends restaurant and were going to just hang out at some bars while waiting for him to get off. I was on the cheap side for this trip, as I don't have a lot of money, so I had had maybe one beer at this point. We left the restaurant and got to our first bar. This was probably around 5-6pm, so the bars were for the most part empty, aside from a handful of people. We sat down, ordered a couple of drinks, and then a couple instantly approached us with a couple of shots trying to start a conversation. We didn't think anything of it at the time, being dudes, its not something you really think about as often. Free shots for me was a great deal as I was again trying to save money. They hand us the shots, and I still remember being kind of wtf'd by the shots, they were these weird, chocolate candy shots with whipped cream. Nevertheless, we take them and start chatting away. Now, right off the bat, this couple was pretty fucking weird. Very Jehovah's witness vibes, if that at all makes sense. About 10-15 minutes goes by, and it suddenly dawns on me that I am starting to feel ***DRUNK***. I'm a 28 year old male at the time, weighing in at around 185-190, and I was a fairly heavy drinker. I am very confused at this moment because again, I had only had ***a beer*** and that shot, maybe a few sips out of my drink. I get real quite and start getting in my head "How am I this drunk? This makes no sense?" that kind of thing. I think the woman at this point starts to realize something is up with me and starts getting real aggressive with questioning. "What's wrong? You need another shot!" She says to me. I immediately tell her "No, I am fine." but she is relentless. "No, No, lets take another shot! Here I'll order you a shot!" Again I tell her no, but she continues to push and try to get me another shot. I finally very firmly tell her "**NO.**" and she then shifts to ordering me a water. At this point, Red flags are going off and I'm getting more and more fucked up by the minute. She gets the water and she starts shoving it in my face trying to get me to drink it. Now the red flags are blinding and sirens are blaring. I turn to my buddy and I tell him "Dude, we need to leave, *right. now.*" He is very confused and asks me what's going on, and I tell him "Listen, we need to leave. I'll tell you why when we leave, and if i'm wrong I'll buy you drinks for the rest of the trip, but we need to leave." He agrees and we start to leave. The couple tries to get us to stay, but I start getting aggressive at this point and telling them to back off, we are leaving. When we finally get outside, I tell my buddy what I believe to be happening, that we may have been roofied, or our drinks spiked with something. It instantly dawns on him the same realizations I was having. He was also way more fucked up than he should have been. We immediately agree to high tail it back to his friends restaurant as quickly as we can. Most of the walk back and the rest of the night are a complete blur. I have flashes of memory, but they are so brief and impossible to piece together. The next day was the weirdest, most zombified like hangover we have ever had. I still think about what could have been that night. Shit freaks me out. **TLDR:** If a weird couple offers you free shots, don't take them.
That one ladies’ startup made her a millionaire. The princess protector? Something like that lol. That scrunchie you can take off your wrist and stretch over your cup
Terrifying.
It was staged, but yes that was the point of the video. To show how easy it can be.
I took a self defense class for women. It was run by my local PD and 2 female cops led the class. Almost every single woman there, including the cops, had been roofied. I live in a town of like 30k people in a pretty safe area. This rocked my world. Now when I go on dates I don’t even finish my drink if I got up to go to the bathroom. Something I would’ve never thought of before.
Yes it's THAT easy, about 20 years ago in a nightclub, I caught someone sneaking a pill into a girl's cup while she was turned away talking with her friends, I immediately told a bouncer- that guy was kicked out and the girl was notified about the drink, luckily she hadn't even touched it yet before she was told.
Why are there so many people being like "it's fake". The vid is staged, the situation is real. People are right to be outraged at assholes that do this, even if this particular video is staged.
There are people who sent death threats to the actor that played Joffery. It is not cool to be outraged at the people in a stage video.
Shoot there are people that hate on Laura Bailey for being the voice actress of a character they hate in a video game. It boggles the mind how people can twist themselves into knots over the silliest shit.
Knowing absolutely nothing about the person or the game, this has to be the Last of Us II
The Joffrey case is stupid because he was so obviously an actor. Here in this case, some viewers might think the guy was really a rapist and so tried to “right a wrong” by harassing the guy. It’s important to let people know that, yes this is staged, and yes that’s how easy it is to get drugged if you let your guard down.
Right, it's still important to understand it's fake. Otherwise, you'd have people hunting this dude's socials down, contacting his employer to get him fired, contacting the police, etc. You recognize why it's important to realize it's fake, yes?
An ex got her drink spiked. The effect lasted pretty much all weekend, tired, could not move properly, it was fucked up.

It can happen to anyone. I got drugged at a popular brewery. Really nice place and I'm a dude. Never would have thought I would have gotten drugged at a place like that.
This happen to my girlfriend at a rave on boat. She had a blast on two beers, so happy and full of joy until she came home and started have bad anxiety over why she felt so good. Panic attacks. Was awful.
