Inspired oleh Cinders soapbox on this spot. This is to tampil anda why though.

I hail from Ireland- the unofficial drinking capital of the world. Therefore, most of my socialising centres around the pub, and the club.

Its not that I am a massive drinker, anda know, the kind that tries to suck up alcohol from the carpet following a spill, but I do drink. And I do go out.Which is why I know first hand the dangers of leaving a drink unattended.

It doesn't matter what anda are drinking, be it whiskey atau water,NEVER EVER LEAVE IT UNATTENDED.

Its really common to spike a drink with a Mickey Finn in Ireland, especially in clubs, where its easy to lose track of a drink. I don't know about other countries.

Why is it dangerous? anda don't remember anything after anda take it.

I'll give anda an example.
A friend I went to school with left his drink unattended for a minute. When he came back, he finished his drink. Within two hours, his friends had to bring him home.

Thirty menit after finishing his drink, he began to act strangely. He became so abusive the bouncers threw him out of the club, where he started to abuse and threaten some acquaintances who were waiting to go in. He became physically aggressive, and it took four friends to get him into a cab.

When they brought him home, he started crying and screaming at the 'monsters' that he could see.

He woke up the selanjutnya morning, and could not remember what had happened to him.

So, some tips:

1) If anda leave a drink alone, DON'T drink it. anda don't know what could be in it.

2) Don't assume friends will watch your drink. Make sure someone is watching it.

3) ANY drink can be spiked. Don't assume your aman, brankas because you're drinking water.

4) If anda think someones drink has been spiked, tell them!

5) If anda leave for a smoke, finish your drink first. atau order a fresh one when anda come back in.

6) friends may think it funny to spike your drink. Be cautious.
