DRINK SPIKING - MAKING YOUR VENUE SAFE |
   |
 |
Drink spiking is when alcohol or another drug is added to your drink without you knowing. This results in you becoming drunk or drug affected unexpectedly. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks can be spiked, and it can happen at clubs, bars and at parties. Answers Investigation run a high profile awareness and prevention programme for Universities, clubs and companies organising business parties |  |
| The Drink Detectives... Answers Investigation programme is geared toward prevention and advisement for Universities, business parties and bars/nightclubs. With permission, a small team will attend events and operate a high or low profile service whereby guests may have drinks tested at any time, discreetly and without charge. In a crowded event, team members are easily identifiable, and can be approached at any time, or may operate pro-actively. |
 |
Drink spiking is prevalent at university student events, pubs, clubs and even at the office party. A National survey suggests one in four young women who regularly go to pubs, clubs and particularly University social events had their drinks spiked last year; as many as 30 women a week were potential rape victims after their drinks were spiked. |

Date rape or drug rape is when drugs are given to someone without their knowledge, with the aim of reducing their inhibitions or consciousness to a level where a sexual assault can take place. The drugs that are used (gamma-hydroxybutryate, or flunitrazepam) can be added to a drink in a pub, club, or even at a party. In alcohol they are odourless, colourless, and tasteless, and cause sedation or euphoria as quickly as 10 minutes after ingestion. Nearly all accept that, at present, the problem is not going to go away. Attendance at events by Answers staff therefore provides many benefits: |

Rohypnol, for example, is the brand name of a tranquilliser manufactured by Roche
Pharmaceuticals and is available in Europe by prescription. It is from a family
of chemicals, known as benzodiazepines and including valium and diazepam, which
doctors prescribe to relieve anxiety, depression and insomnia. When used for
prescription purposes these drugs can be of great benefit, but the risks arise
when mixed with alcohol and other drugs - among other effects this can lead to
'blackouts' lasting between eight and 24 hours. Roche Pharmaceuticals
have tried to counter the use of this drug by date rapists by adding a blue dye
to the tablets, but the findings suggest this has not been
effective. In any event, counterfeit drugs will not contain a dye or indicator |
