To suspect that dd’s drink got spiked?

[Whitlandcarm]

She went out to a well known London club which turns out to have a rep as being quite druggie.

She is quite a heavy drinker with a high tolerance. She drank 2 pints and 5 jaegarbombs. No more than she says that she can quite easily manage and drinks on a night out clubbing.

Predrinking she was fine and she arrived at the club around 12pm. She drank some jaegarbombs in the club with a friend who was fine.

By 1am she was being violently sick and immediately had to leave the club and be supported by others and got a taxi home. She was vomiting all the way home and it also seems that she crapped her pants.

She was sick all night and woke up in a bed full of her own vomit. Her friends had left her by that point to sleep themselves having been watching her all night.

She has absolutely no recollection of what happened last night after arriving to the nightclub.

She said she still felt drunk at midday and she is still occasionally vomiting and feeling ill.

What do you think? Was she spiked or did she drink too much?

I don't think spiking happens as often as people think. Chances are she just found herself more drunk than expected/faster than expected, especially if she hadn't eaten much that day, etc. Or it could have coincided with a sudden gastro virus.

How else would you describe it VeryCunningStunt?
I doubt the OP felt particularly proud writing that. What a ridiculously unhelpful response

You describe your daughter as a heavy drinker with a high tolerance.

Now it seems she's at the stage of drinking till she shits herself and blacks out.

I'd be quite concerned if this was my child, I don't think for a minute she was spiked. She's got alcohol poisoning and possibly a drink problem.

Sounds like a combination of too much alcohol and too much caffeine to me! That many red bulls in such a short space of time was never going to end well for her digestive system...

Lovely. Completely drunk and lost complete control of her bowels.
Why do you think her drink was spiked?
Just dangerous binge drinking and sorry but you sound naive.
Liver damage is no joke.

I'd be ok if I drank that normally, but if I did on an empty stomach then there would be black outs and spew involved. Did she have anything to eat?

It sounds more like she was in a state

Food poisoning or norivirus.

I had my drink spiked once.

The hangover lasted days. And I mean the serious kind of hangover. I was a hardened drinker but this was extreme. I couldn't get out of bed for well over 48 hours. I was sick every time I moved my head. I was really confused.

At first I thought I had drank too much, although I had no particular memory of drinking any more than usual. It was only later that memories started to creep back.

I am told that this extreme hangover and memory loss is common with GHB/rohypnol.

I'm a paramedic, and every weekend we spend most of the night with people who have drunk a lot of alcohol but swear blind they've been spiked. They know this because they have a high tolerance for alcohol. Honestly, it's the same story every time.

That's a huge amount of alcohol, i think it's unlikely that her drink was spiked. Does she often drink that much?

In fairness though for most people except light drinkers 9.5 units is not that much and certainly not enough to cause blackout. It's just over a bottle of wine.

But she probably drank more than she admits.

How else would you describe it

No, you're right. I stand corrected. 'Crapped her pants' is the only valid terminology for such an eventuality. There are truly no other words to use in a scenario in which your daughter drinks until she loses control of her bowels.

I think your daughter has a drink problem and needs help. She could have easily choked on her vomit, a very unpleasant way to die. An ex of mine nearly choked to death on his vomit, luckily I managed to help him, and your daughter was lucky her friends keep an eye on her. Too much alcohol, too much red bull, too quickly. As a pp said loads of people would rather say they were spiked or had a 'bad' pint, than admit they had just drunk far too much.

The whole high tolerance thing is mythical in my experience.

It sounds like she has the same silly idea about how much she can handle and kept drinking even though she was shite-faced.

She needs to start spacing out her drinks a little more or drink slower so she is aware of exactly how drunk she is before downing another. She'll be back in that state again if she doesn't.

Jaegarbombs are something else though, aren't they? Really bad - I couldn't possibly touch one - and I am a hardened drinker of wine/vodka/gin. (well, I used to be). I can't touch Tequila either - it just makes me vomit, and that's the end of my night out.

Is she used to jaegarbombs? The answer is she could have been spiked - it does happen - so thank your lucky stars that her friends were there and got her home safely. But tbh, it could easily have just been a reaction to that amount of alcohol. Even hardened drinkers get caught out sometimes when they overindulge - esp if they haven't eaten, or are tired, or just drink a bit faster than usual.

9.5 units is not that much

It is when drunk in the space of an hour! That’s a hell of a lot of alcohol and the caffeine in the red bull will just make it even worse.

real drink spiking is a bit of a myth. they use stuff that renders you imobile not just super pissed.

soumds to me like she got out of her depth. it happens. youll never know now anyway so talk to her about staying safe and move on.

It's freshers. I have had no less than 3 mums call the bar wanting CCTV because their children (18+ olds away at uni) have been spiked. Because they've come home paralytic and the only way they could've been that out of it was if they got spiked.

They were not spiked.
It honestly sounds like she drank to much.

Maybe she drank more than she remembers. I often misremember on a night out and then when I think about it next day I start thinking of all the other drinks I had and then the penny drops why I was so pissed

I tend to get diarrhea (sorry for TMI) after heavy drinking, although not so much vomiting if I have paced myself and lined my stomach but everybody reacts differently. It does sound like an extreme reaction which is what would lead me to bet she has had more to drink than she says she has, either that or she's had all those jaegarbombs in quick succession.

I suppose there is a possibility her drink was spiked, and if you seriously think that you could always take her to get checked over.

Spiking is a myth now. Used as an excuse for over indulgence.

Not being judgmental, I couldn't possibly do that without being a hypocrite. Lol

Maybe a little e was taken for the first time? Well by the sounds of it never again if so.

Glad she is ok.

A lot of people on here think you have a drink problem if you have more than a couple of glasses of wine on a night out! Ignore them.

I was in your daughters situation at uni, I really could drink (it's a family trait, alcohol has little effect on us and we don't get hangovers, and no, we are not alcoholics) but one night after just 4 drinks I was off my face, had to be carried to a taxi and was sick all night. I only found out months later that one drink that a friend gave me (that I thought they had bought) was actually given to them by a guy we vaguely knew who had always had a bit of a creepy obsession with her.

To this day I am sure he spiked her and am actually glad that I drank it as I was sensible enough to go to friends for help, whereas she had little self awareness and would have probably wandered off on her own, to god only knows what end.
