When it comes to drink spiking, we all know that it's a common thing that happens to some girls (and boys! 1 in 5) in clubs.
Never could I image that it would happend to me.
And it did. Last Saturday in fact. It was my friend's birthday and we were all having lots of fun at the infamous Ladylux nightclub, there were friends everywhere and naturally i felt very safe.
I had about three Mojitos and some vodka, I was about to have another sip when I felt all dizzy and disoriented (no drugs were consumed I promise).
The cut the long story short, I left the club straight away and had friends dropping me off home. Now that's was real lucky, even though I passed out in front of my apartment before I could open the door.
The moral of the story is: there're morons around who won't hesitate to spike you drink for one reason or another. You have to be mindful at all times and take care of yourself and your friends.
There are a few things you can do to prevent it happen to you:
1) Never let someone you don't know buy you a drink.
2) When you buy a drink watch the person behind the bar pour it.
3) Buy drinks in bottles with lids. If you are going on the dance floor it can easily go in your bag.
