well...
I'm sure I'll post a few more stories, but the one I'm about to tell put me off for at least two months...

I was working in a pub in Penge, SE London. I used to get 2 days off a week, and every now and then I'd get a weekend or a Sunday and Monday off.

One particular week I had to work the Saturday night, but had the following 2 days off, so I figured I'd leave the pub at 11:30ish and head into town.

There was a club in Crucifix Lane that'd I'd been to a couple of times which opened until 7am, so I went there.

I was on my second drink and then...

Well, then it was Tuesday afternoon and I was in hospital.

Somebody had slipped something into my drink, taken me outside, then robbed me and given me a kicking.

I was found on the Sunday afternoon in an alleyway, having apparently been left for dead.

I was missing 2 teeth and covered in cuts and bruises. My right eye was swollen shut, and I still have problems with the sight in that eye.

I also still occasionally have problems with my knee, which was ruined in the beating - I had to walk with crutches for 3 months, and still have a limp now.

Did it put me off clubbing?

It put me off going to that club.

Moral of the story: You can still have your drink spiked, even if it's a bottle and you don't put it down somewhere. I'm still kind of impressed that they managed to get it in there without me noticing

Never been roofie-colada'd myself..
But some cunt decided to spike a good friend of mine's drink. They were probably trying to spike one of the eight women the two of us were sitting with to be honest, but...

He wound up in hospital for two fucking weeks after having his stomach pumped.

We noticed someone trying to slip some shit in someone's drink a few months later (different club), and got the bastard stuck in prison (after a suitable kicking) with the footage from our delightful camera phones.

wow...
can you be sure it wasn't in the drink before it was handed to you?

Christ, that's nasty
I got told off by a bouncer at a bar in Paris for leaving my drink unattended while I nipped out for a ciggie - told me that drink-spiking is very common over there.

I know it doesn't help you, but I hope they got the bastards on something else.
