As a student, I wouldn't class drinking at the bar as any safer. Bar men and members of the public can still spike drinks.
I guess she means that they stood at the bar so they weren't moving around with their cups and could be more focussed on making sure nobody managed to sneak something into their drinks which would be easier in the middle of the dance floor if they're waving the cup about. I'm not an expert on what these injections consist of and what is possible to put in them. Pills and stuff can be mixed with various things so I wonder if the injections can be too. That bruise looks really suspicious to me - it really does look like she's been injected and I've seen other girls post similar looking pictures too so for me, it isn't just a coincidence that girls are being spiked and ending up with an injection-like scratch and bruise.As a student, I wouldn't class drinking at the bar as any safer.

Is she saying she was drugged with multiple different drugs in a needle? Again, hard to believe.
I think she was spiked but who hasn't come home with a bruise after a night out?
Why? I know just your opinion but I’m just wonder why you don’t believe it?I do not believe girls are being spiked with a needle.
Drink spiking yes.
Needle spiking, extremely unlikely.
I’m sure that was Harry Maguire. Either way, that story rings a bell. Very concerning that the number of pictures and stories seems to be increasing around the issue of injecting women with all sorts of drugs on nights out.Thinking about this subject has just reminded me of the Harry Kane arrest in Mykonos? (I think it was).
Didn't his sister Daisy accuse a man (who was trying to chat her up) of trying to inject her with something?
Then it all kicked off with Harry basically trying to defend his sister yet getting arrested and intimidated by the police himself?
Scary bloody stuff if you ask me?
The police trying basically to frame him as the aggressor and not taking Daisy Kane seriously?
Is this the start of a new and disturbing trend do you think? What a horrible thought?
Actually reading this thread was an education for me and jogged my memory (of the above incident) which as I said wasn't taken very seriously!
I admit I believed in the beginning that this was not very common and that the media were maybe trying to create panic around the whole issue but I am starting to realise it's maybe more common than we'd like to believe and I just think it's horrendous for the poor women involved.
It must be terrifying to have that happen and be left so vulnerable and open to abuse.
Let's hope that the media coverage increases awareness of this terrible crime and that the authorities take it seriously.
Possibly the most eloquent post I've seen on the subject, that covers every side of the discussion.The consensus seems to be that it would be difficult to successfully spike people - even trained professionals need focus, good light and stillness to inject people. But I wonder if it's actually easy to successfully inject someone if you don't care about their welfare.
It's hard for the average member of the public to ascertain the risk, so it's causing a similar kind of panic to when COVID showed up first. We need to feel like medics, lawmakers, the police and clubs are working together to understand and combat the issue, but after how badly COVID was managed, after what happened to Sarah Everard, it's hard to trust that the will and/or ability to protect us is there at all. It's especially disheartening that the central argument seems to be about whether or not it's even happening.
With Halloween around the corner, I am worried about someone successfully spiking me with a needle, but to be honest I'm more worried about them attempting it and exposing me to disease
yeah exactly, this is what I would worry about more than whatever drug is in it (of course this would also worry me but the other risks are even worse)Possibly the most eloquent post I've seen on the subject, that covers every side of the discussion.
It was also one of my first thoughts that if they are being injected, or even just scratched as a distraction while their drink is spiked, what about other diseases through the needle, like Hep C? Could easily happen if they're scratching multiple people with that same needle. That's one bit that is scary and seems to be somewhat overlooked in the talk I've seen everywhere.
I agree, as I have said I had my drink spiked but didn't report it as I had no proof, the club refused to give me a test to take and I assumed it would just have been assumed I was drunkI imagine the cases of drink spiking are a lot higher than reported, probably because alcohol is often involved and also because the lack of memory is a sufficient deterrent to people coming forward to the police, who likely can’t do much anyway.
I’ve had my drink spiked twice, both in my late teens. Fortunately in both cases it was early in the night so I’d barely had anything to drink. Different drugs I think as one made me paralytic and sick. The other made me really sleepy and with no memory of what had happened. I was lucky enough to be with friends on both occasions and kept safe.
I often wonder if these incidents were happening to all ages of people, or more men, whether it would be taken more seriously. It’s far too easy to blame naive young girls drinking too much or being foolish.
On the first occasion my mum thought I’d had too much to drink. Logically though it made no sense - I’d only been out for less than an hour, I couldn’t have got in that state in such a short time unless I’d downed a bottle of vodka!I agree, as I have said I had my drink spiked but didn't report it as I had no proof, the club refused to give me a test to take and I assumed it would just have been assumed I was drunk
Thank you!Possibly the most eloquent post I've seen on the subject, that covers every side of the discussion.

thank god someone said it!The spiking by injection is not happening. What we're seeing is mass hysteria. One girl claims it happened to her, it goes viral and people pick up on it. It doesn't make sense, it would be virtually impossible to drug someone in this way
I said it too! And got questioned as to why I didn't believe it.thank god someone said it!
