to think my friend is lying about being drugged?

203 replies

So last Saturday night we had a girls night out (group of 7).

Walking to a different bar, some walking further ahead etc. I was at the back (damn ridiculous high heels!) when we reached one of my friends(A) in floods of tears. Apparently one of our friends (B) had told A that friend (C) was dead.

(Friend C was out with us at the time but was much further ahead of us). Friend A thought she'd been in some sort of accident and was inconsolable - I think obviously this was heightened with how much she had to drink.

After an argument between A and B when the truth was friend C was fine. Que friend B storming off. I called her and she said she was in a taxi on the way home.

All is forgiven now. But friend B keeps saying that she only said what she did because someone drugged her in the bar we had just left.

aibu to think she is just lying about being drugged because she's quite embarrassed about what she said?

Confused They all - or at least A and B - must have been absolutely bolloxed to think that one of their friends who was really walking up ahead was dead Confused

Does it really matter? Maybe she felt like she had been, maybe she drank too much who knows. All is forgiven now anyway so YABU to keep it going.

Well I said the incident was forgiven. But I also said that friend B keeps going on about it.

I've never brought it up actually and kept my suspicions to myself.

Sounds like she'd just drunk too much. It really pisses me off when people say when they've been drugged when in all likelihood they've just drunk a shitload.

badtime · 07/12/2012 17:40

Some people think they have been drugged, but when tested the only drug in their system is alcohol.
Your friend was pished, and it may have affected her more than she expected, or she may just be odd.

Also it is 'Cue friend B...'

Geranium3 · 07/12/2012 17:40

don't know about a group of 7, you all sound like a bunch of year 7 schoolchildren!!!

BunnyLebowski · 07/12/2012 17:41

You all sound like hot drunk childish messes.

Confused
WinklyVersusTheZombies · 07/12/2012 17:42

Tbh that sounds way more like drugged behaviour. Alcohol can make people paranoid, true, but doesn't usually induce delusions (other than of the "I'm a great singer" variety)

Why are you so reluctant to believe her?

Caerlaverock · 07/12/2012 17:43

Freakolas, at no point did a say 'don't be a twat c is up ahead of us?'?

TeamBacon · 07/12/2012 17:43

When she says drugged, what exactly does she mean?

KittyFane1 · 07/12/2012 17:43

This thread is one of the many reasons I am happy I am no longer young or stupid.

TeamBacon someone slipped something into her drink.

Friend C wasn't in viewing distance.

Tell you what, if you all behave like grown ups and don't insist on getting completely obliterated then you won't have these confusing and childish problems.

Exactly how out of it would you have to be to believe that your friend who you were out with and was walking up ahead of you had somehow died in an accident.

WinklyVersusTheZombies · 07/12/2012 17:51

Does it matter? Either your friend drank herself into a stupid state, or she wasn't careful with her glass and someone slipped her something, but friend c is fine, nobody got hurt, you'll never prove the drugged theory either way, and the argument doesn't seem damaging.

FolkElf where did I say that I was "completely obliterated"?

Because I didn't. I had 4 drinks that night.

I was walking behind with a friend and caught up with friend A who was crying.

Merrycuckingfistmas · 07/12/2012 17:56

I think if friend C had actually been drugged she probably wouldn't even remember what she said, if it was a date rape drug then she will have passed out, when she woke the next day would have no recollection of what happened and it would probably have taken 3 or 4 days to get over it.

Merrycuckingfistmas · 07/12/2012 17:57

Friend B sorry not C

KittyFane1 · 07/12/2012 17:57

So not obliterated then? Seems like you were all very confused for a group of 'just tipsy' girls.

Agree with Merry - if she'd actually been drugged then walking and talking and buggering off in a taxi are rather unlikely. You black out and it affects you for a long time afterwards.

Pancakeflipper · 07/12/2012 18:02

So A & B thought C had died on the walk to the next alcohol intake?

KittyFane1 what? when did I use the phrase 'tipsy girls'?

Some of us drank more than others. We don't all drink the same.

FolkElf · 07/12/2012 18:23

You didn't say you were 'completely obliterated'.

I said that Confused

It's called inference. I was inferring that the people involved were very drunk from the information that you had posted which implied it.

I wasn't quoting you.

And if copious amounts of alcohol hadn't been consumed, then I would suggest that her assertion that she'd been drugged may well be accurate.
