So: Someone put something in my drink over the weekend.

[lildreamer316]

I don't remember the last half of the night at all(Sat.), as well as not remembering several guys that hit on me. Fortunately, I was in the company of friends who quickly realized something was wrong and got me up to the booth with my husband.
I apparently went off on him in a rage, which seems to be common with those ppl who have had their drinks spiked with GHB.
I don't remember coming home; which was a 30 min. drive. Had to sit in the car for 20 min. before I could move.
I was very very very sick for most of the day Sunday. I almost decided to call for an ambulance, but managed to recover myself ok.
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO embarrassed, even though many ppl have told me it was not my fault.

Please, all of you, be careful.

For the record, I am Irish Cherokee, and can drink like a fish when called upon. This was not overindulgence, it was something else. I have never blacked out before--ever.

Realizing that I could not remember anyone except those ppl who were my friends (that I had met before) was very scary. I see how this is the perfect rape drug--those ppl I met when affected, I would not remember one thing about. Absolutely nothing. Complete blank.
Very, very, very scary.

I was sharing most of my drinks with a girlfriend, who also got sick, but not as badly as I did. It seems I drank most of whatever it was.

Just another warning and a heads-up. You obviously never know. This bar is not known for problems...

[crim son]

1. Wow. Of course I've heard of this but never known anybody

who has experienced it. I'm glad you're okay. And thank you for the reminder that we women should always keep an eye on our drink when out and about. Be careful! :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

2. Yes, and also keep an eye on our friends as well

If it were not for Dreamer's friends being alert to her condition, this story could have had a far different ending.

3. You should report your suspicions

To the bar owner at the very least and possibly to the cops.

The jerk(s) who did this may have targeted others who weren't lucky enough to have friends to help them.

[lildreamer316]

5. My husband is the DJ..

so it was known something was going on by the end of the night.
It seems that several other women may have complained of the same thing. It's a large capacity bar for the area (fire code almost a thousand); so you see how this could have slipped by on a busy night. We had Daryl Worley performing, so it was a madhouse.

I will probably learn more of what happened when he goes in this Friday...

4. That sucks

I'm glad you had people around to watch out for you. I have a friend who went on a business trip and went down in the hotel bar to get a drink and got drugged. How fucking horrible can people be to do that to someone?

I'm glad you are ok, and it didn't turn out as bad as it could have. If I ever caught someone spiking someone's drink like that I would spike their teeth with some knuckles. I'm not a violent person btw, I just think it's cowardly to do things like that.

6. This is a good opportunity to go over "club rules".

1) Watch the drink being poured or opened by the bartender.

2) Keep your hand OVER the drink or put your napkin over it.

3) Never accept a drink unless you saw it being poured or opened, even from your friends. You don't know someone didn't slip something into the drink while they had it.

4) NEVER LEAVE YOUR DRINK ALONE.

5) When in doubt, pour it out (or just get a new drink).

None of this is AT ALL to say you were at fault here. The victim is NEVER at fault. But these are some good simple ground rules for safety's sake. Too many assholes out there not to follow the rules.

[lildreamer316]

13. The bad thing is, I am a club employee..

...having been a stripper for over 12 years, I know these things well, but tend to only think of them when I am working (because we can drink when we work--it's actually encouraged).
The girl I was sharing the drinks with works with me too. You would think one of us would have noticed something.:shrug:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

17. Well, I mostly just said them for the "good of the order".

Public service announcement type thing. I'm sure you DO know them - I didn't know what you do for a living, but I was pretty well sure this wasn't your first go-round in a club. Others might not though, especially among our younger crowd.

I'm so sorry this happened and I hope they neuter the bastard that did it.

[Haole Girl]

7. I'm so glad you're okay...

..and there were people, there, you trusted, who could take care of you!

Thought your comment about being able to hold your liqueur b/c you are Irish Cherokee was interesting...since I am of Irish *and* Cherokee decent, and can't hold mine! ;-)

[lildreamer316]

10. Eh, I was just searching..

for a quick way of saying that I can hold my own (and usually do..haha); and that this was not a case of overindulgence. I used to drink at least 8 to 12 shots of tequila in a night at a bar with my friends and be mostly sober by 2 am.
I have a quick metabolism.

[Haole Girl]

12. No offense taken...

...just making a mental note...that, mostly, you're right. We should be able to hold our liqueur!

:pals:

[lildreamer316]

14. Oh,

well it's really no point of pride that I can...it certainly can't be good for me.
The lesson is to not be overconfident and too trusting, I guess.
Back atcha...:pals:

[BarenakedLady]

8. How scary

I'm so glad your friends knew something was wrong.

:hug:

[Reverend_Smitty]

9. That is frightening!

Thankfully you had people looking out for you. I always make sure I hand my drink to a responsible friend or take it with me when I have to go to the bathroom. They laugh at me when I come back and say half-jokingly "nobody put a roofie in this right?" It's really no joking matter because it only takes a second for someone to slip something into an unattended glass

[lildreamer316]

11. ...as was so obvious here!

I was sharing most of my drinks with a girlfreind, but obviously we were not watching them closely enough. I guess sometimes you are just gonna get in for it. Hopefully not most of you.......

[undeterred]

15. Things happen, even when you are with friends.

I have a friend who went to an outdoor rock concert with a group of 10 other twenty somethings. She drank a lot that night and did not remember how she got home. She had a feeling that she'd had sex, but she couldn't remember with whom or under what circumstances. Within a few weeks she found out that she was pregnant.

None of her friends knew what happened to her that night. She didn't know if she had been raped. While she was agonizing over the decision whether or not to keep the baby, she lost it. She never did find out whose baby it was.

[lildreamer316]

16. Oh, that's hell.

I hope she is ok........
It serves as a warning to all of us.

[ThomCat]

18. I'm so glad your friends were there to take care of you.

That's scary.

And you come across as someone who can really take care of yourself in the club scene, so that makes this even scarier.

:hug:

[BlueIris]

19. Jesus Christ.

ARE YOU OKAY? You know that GHB can mess with you for quite a while after you've ingested it, right? You're still at risk for lots of scary stuff happening neurologically. Get checked out as soon as you possibly can and if I were you, I'd try not to be alone this week. Also, make sure you have all of your emergency contact numbers on hand in case something unfortunate does happen in the next fourteen days or so.

And again I post: Jesus Christ. That is scary.

20. That happened to my husband.

Some jackasses dosed his drink in a club one night. He barely made it home, and vomited in the driveway for three hours, then passed out for another two. I was sleeping inside the entire time. My husband doesn't drink, so he was doubly confused as to what was going on.

The realization of what had happened was terrifying. He wouldn't go to a hospital, neither would he call the police.

So sorry you were assaulted like that.

[lildreamer316]

22. Yep, that sounds about right.

I couldn't figure out why I was SO sick, because I had stuck to the same drink all night, and only had 4, which I was splitting with my friend.

I almost went to the hospital because I could not for the life of me get warm. I was shaking so bad my husband thought I was going into shock. He piled 2 blankets on me,and when I finally stopped being sick I crawled in front of the fireplace and passed out.

I'm sorry that happened to him too. Guess you just never know.

[mtnester]

21. If you can, go to the ER and get a blood test.

Tell them you are looking for GHB or similar...make a police report also. This is a CRIME.

Many times, the culprit is a repeater. This may be one of several incidents at this particular bar...so it ABSOLUTELY needs to be documented if you are able to do so.

A small step maybe...but it could lead to stopping a horrific crime. Co-worker here had a teenage child murdered last year by a GHB spiking sociopath. GHB type drug in her blood stream. The trial starts in a few weeks.

[lildreamer316]

23. The owners/managers know..

since husband is the dj. He won't let them slide if he sees the crap happen again-in other words, if it becomes a pattern, he will report it no matter what.
See, at first I thought I really had just overdone it; that maybe I had become overconfident. THen he and my friends told me about ppl I had talked to and been hit on and etc. that I don't remember a THING about, and the way I was acting.
