Drink spiking is the malicious act of adding alcohol or other drugs to a person’s drink without their knowledge or consent. It is a serious crime that can have devastating consequences, including alcohol poisoning, sexual assault, or even death.
There are several ways to avoid drink spiking. First, never leave your drink unattended. If you need to step away, ask a friend to watch it for you. Second, be aware of your surroundings and who is around you. If you feel uncomfortable, leave the area immediately. Third, only drink from sealed containers. Avoid drinks that have been opened or left unattended.
