I was spiked more than a decade ago - I was 16 and felt invincible at the time. Back then the "emo" culture meant drinking in town every weekend in massive groups of various ages and there were always a few dodgy people too.
I know that I was drinking the same as I usually would but I have massive amounts of memory loss (as in more than 24 hours that I can't remember and know about only from the stories of others). I know, from talking about the event, that a newer guy to the group, older than us, offered to get me a drink and being naive (and spiking wasn't spoken about as much) I accepted. From that moment on I have a complete memory loss and my gaps were only filled in by friends. I was apparently vomiting, in and out of consciousness and I couldn't stand, walk or string a sentence together. Again being young and scared of the trouble we'd be in my friends didn't seek help (they thought I'd drank too much and just needed to sober up and I don't blame them) but they stayed by my side 24/7 and the guy disappeared. Two of my male friends kept me beside them at all times, held my hair back and propped me between them so the group could move. When we went to a friends house after they made sure to stay beside me, have water on hand and again prop me up. It took me days to recover.
At the time we laughed at how embarrassing I was, how I'd drank too much, how I'd taken a bad reaction etc and everyone thought that was it. It wasn't until years later when we were drunk and reminiscing that, as adults, we went over the events and realised that I wasn't drunk.
Even now, 12 years on, this is the worst I've ever been and the event stays with me.
It is highly unlikely that she was spiked.
