What always really scared me is the attitude of some emergency workers regarding really drunk women. There's no thought of spiking often, it's just that they were irresponsible and drank too much. It's almost like they assume that anyone who claims they've not had much to drink is a liar. (not saying all workers but some!)Happened to me in my early twenties. I have zero recollection of the night. I am so so fortunate that I had an amazing group of friends with me who clocked something was wrong and took me home straight away. They think it happened at the bar so it was either someone working there or quick slight of hand. It made me so paranoid and sad to think it happens to some many women (and sometimes men). It is often dismissed “oh she had too much” etc etc. Scary world we live in.
This is so true. I’ve had some awful experiences with bouncers/security - thankfully always for being plain old “too drunk” and not spiked but like you said they may present the same. On one of my first nights out at uni when I was just 18 I was physically removed from a nightclub for falling asleep in one of the seating booths - I was left alone on the street in an unknown town. Luckily a group of other students took me back to my halls. You’d think things would be better now but I doubt they are.What always really scared me is the attitude of some emergency workers regarding really drunk women.

It always really worried me as an 18 year old cause I am completely teetotal and have never drank so the only way I'd be in a bad way is if I was spiked and I'd hate to think that they would just think I was a drunk teenager who was a pain in the arse and wasting their time. Not that that should matter but when I was 18 I was really worried what people would think of me
what a terrifying experience! You'd think they'd have woke you up or rung someone! Called the police even! in my local town they have like a mini hospital that is a converted portable office thing that the st johns ambulance run and they look after drunk people which is really good and I'm glad it exists cause the bouncers or police will ring them and they'll come to the club and get you and take you to their mini hospital and keep you safe.This is so true.

Agree. I had a friend we took to a&e because we didn’t know what to do (i have known her for YEARS and she was tipsy one second - normal functioning tipsy - and slurred and incoherent the next, she was NOT just drunk and would never take drugs of her own accord). A&e staff basically gave us a cardboard bucket and let her get it out of her system but viewed her as another drunk girl on a Saturday night. Really frightening and didnt care when I repeatedly told them it was not just alcohol.What always really scared me is the attitude of some emergency workers regarding really drunk women.

It seems, at present that Nottingham police and police in Scotland are investigating spiking incidents and also looking into reports of those victims saying they felt like they had been scratched. I'm certainly not saying these people haven't been spiked or even injected, it could well be that it has happened and there is a lone wolf predator using this technique, I'm just saying it is very unlikely that it is happening up and down the country. Also, if I had been spiked and I saw online that people suspect they had been spiked by injection, I might well worry that it had happened to me and ask the police to look into it.On a similar note, have there been any cases where the victims have reported it to the police/gone to the hospital for blood tests etc? If it were me I’d want to know exactly what I’d been injected with and what the repercussions might be, but I couldn’t see any details on what the spikers are actually using which makes me a bit suspicious, although I suppose the tests could take time. Hopefully more details come out soon.
