To think I got 'spiked'

MadHattersWineParty · 01/01/2017 11:17

I did what you're not supposed to do.

I picked up an abandoned glass of fizz, and I drank it as I'm flat broke after Christmas, had a Diet Coke at the pub but wanted a fizz and couldn't afford to buy my own Xmas Blush it was just sitting there at the bar. Already had a few glasses of wine at home with a meal then popped into our local to see some friends at about 11:30. DP had to carry me home, (his poor back!) I can't remember a thing and apparently was pretty much unconscious and when I did wake up a bit, totally incoherent- I couldn't form any words. He said he had to move all my limbs like a puppet to get me on my side in bed then didn't want to leave me alone so just played on iPad most of the night.

I feel appalling now. Shaky and sick and a racing heart and I've drank loads of water but can't seem to wee Xmas Blush

It was the local bit-up-it's-Arse-gastro-pub and I know 'mine-sweeping' a drink is a bit student and scummy and I shouldn't have done it, but I'm starting to think it must have been laced with something and whoever it was bought for thought better of it and left it alone. Total memory blackout from about half an hour after I drank it, and before that I was ever so slightly tipsy but holding a conversation and dancing. Only wanted to stick my head in to see in the New Year.

I'm so stupid aren't I Xmas Blush Xmas Blush

I'm also concerned that your dh didn't seek medical advice when you were in that state after so little to drink. The joke about doing anything to you without you being able to stop him, doesn't sit right either.

wtffgs · 01/01/2017 12:15

WTAF is the OP getting a hard time? Hmm

OP - I think you should seek medical advice because of the heart racing and the inability to pee. Definitely collect a sample when you do wee.

You know you've been a bit of a prat but I don't like the victim-shaming you're getting. I'm glad your DP looked after you and hope you feel better soon Brew

Maybe it was ketamine or similar- I felt like I'd been shot with a tranquilliser dart. I haven't had a wee for a good 12 hours.

PerspicaciaTick · 01/01/2017 12:16

You drank half a glass. Someone else drank the other half. I hope they are OK and had someone to look after them.

I hope you feel better soon OP, keep and eye on the lack of wee and seek medical help if you need it.

Maybe contact the bar and point them in the direction of this campaign www.notinmydrink.com/bars-clubs/ so they can raise awareness among their customers.

DearMrDilkington · 01/01/2017 12:16

Get some medical advice about not being able to wee. You might have some other nasty side effects you aren't aware off yet as well.

icanteven · 01/01/2017 12:16

Happened to me once. At a series of house parties with some people I knew when I was about 22. Vaguely druggy crowd, but more pot and a bit of acid than anything scary.

Anyway, I was drinking happily enough (I never drank/drink a lot) and then started swimming in and out of awareness. It was like time was jumping on me - one minute I was sitting down talking to someone and having a glass of wine, and then suddenly I was in a completely different house (with the same people), and I was taking my coat off. Then the next thing I knew we were all walking down the street to get the DART (like the DLR in London) to a nightclub or something, then next thing I was jumping over the turnstile. It was extraordinary, and I stopped drinking obv. It was EXACTLY like a movie where you have a montage of a drunken night out and you have individual disjointed scenes all strung together.

Nobody tried to do anything untoward to me, so I don't know what it was all about. Maybe everybody was taking something and was just tacitly assumed that I would want to as well? I was deeply embarrassed though, because my "host" was definitely NOT taking anything, nor would she ever, and I know I was behaving extremely erratically and out of control, but there's no way that two or three glasses of cheap white wine did all that to me.

MadHatters

I've had my drink spiked - I'm glad you are safe.

The not being able to pee and racing heart could both be signs of drink spiking, dehydration or an infection. Do you have fever?

Have you got any rehydration sachets? If not, please mix honey, salt and water together and drink that instead of just plain water.

How was your appetite this morning?

ktjb39 · 01/01/2017 12:16

I had my drink spiked once and it was a terrifying experience. Luckily for me my friend looked after me and took me home - it was not like being drunk at all (even though I was a little drunk too) I could not do anything for myself and could not speak - I was very aware that something was very wrong with me and that I needed to go home immediately. Take care of yourself and be glad you were well looked after.

WorraLiberty · 01/01/2017 12:16

The liquid doesn't' go anywhere.

It stays in your body because it's so de-hydrated.

Once you start to re-hydrate, you'll start to wee again.

DJBaggySmalls · 01/01/2017 12:16

I agree with wtffgs, they can also take a blood sample and find out what you drank. And you can inform the pub.

insancerre · 01/01/2017 12:18

Nobody spiked your drink
You drank somebody else's drink and have no idea of what you drank
I'm a bit gob smacked actually, that a grown up would do that

MountainPeaks · 01/01/2017 12:19

Please be honest if you go to the hospital about what happened - in some areas they have anonymous reporting to mark areas where drink spiking incidents are elevated. It helps with policing the area and keeping people safe. So whilst you may not report directly to the police, the hospital may do it anonymously (and no, the police do not follow up with you or anything, they don't know anything about you when the report gets made).

WorraLiberty · 01/01/2017 12:19

Raise awareness of what PerspicaciaTick?

There is no evidence here that anyone's drink was spiked with anything.

Loads of students add stronger alcohol to their drinks.

Soubriquet · 01/01/2017 12:20

Don't think so Worra

She posted a few posts after that magic was mdma

MountainPeaks · 01/01/2017 12:20

"Loads of students add stronger alcohol to their drinks."

It's not uncommon around my student friends to do "fizzy bombs" where a shot of spirits get dropped into fizz, particularly towards the end of the night.

HallowedMimic · 01/01/2017 12:20

It's pretty common for people to spike DRI ks and leave them on the bar or on a table to deliberately target people stealing drinks.

They don't generally want to do anything except point and laugh, and see you get your comeuppance.

MountainPeaks · 01/01/2017 12:21

Soub I think Worra meant there was no evidence that the OP's drink was spiked with anything - she may have just picked up a mixed drink without realising it wasn't just bubbles.

insancerre · 01/01/2017 12:21

I don't see what good telling the pub will do
They can't do anything to stop it happening, especially if people drink other people's drinks
They might have cctv but that might just show the op stealing the drink

WelshMoth · 01/01/2017 12:21

Her DP wasn't joking - he was stating a fact in that she had absolutely zero resistance I.e. Should she have been with anyone sinister, then she'd have been in trouble.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 01/01/2017 12:22

I'm not victim shaming her, if she'd left her drink and been targeted then returned to it and it was dodgy I'd be sympathetic.

That isn't what happened , she isn't anyone's victim.

travellinglighter · 01/01/2017 12:23

Happened to me a few years ago. Drunk my drink at about 12:30 and found myself walking miles away from where I was supposed at dawn.

Why someone would want to roofie a middle aged man is beyond me.

MountainPeaks · 01/01/2017 12:23

It's pretty common for people to spike DRI ks and leave them on the bar or on a table to deliberately target people stealing drinks.

Not sure where you drink, but I'd say by "pretty common" you actually meant to say "a select few assholes who are clearly devoid of brain cells" do this.

Soubriquet · 01/01/2017 12:24

I think I'm getting lots of cross posts now.

I asked a question to birds about why she as blasé about the magic in her drink.

worra replied that it might have been magic moments vodka

And I said no because birds came back and said that magic was a type of MDMA..

Does that make more sense or am I reading things wrong?

TheHiphopopotamus · 01/01/2017 12:24

I know of someone who fell off a bridge over a bypass (down the grass banking, luckily and survived) absolutely convinced that her drink had been spiked, as she was adamant that she wouldn't have been in that state otherwise.

She was tested for evidence and the police were involved but it turned out she was just drunk.

WorraLiberty · 01/01/2017 12:26

Oh sorry, I missed Birds other post Blush
