Drink spiked or BU

[FMLonceavain]

So works night out and everyone drinking and having a laugh. Person A buy a shot and B asks where’s hers so A tips half in B’a drink - A then downs the rest. B pulls a face so A offers to but a new drink to replace if she didn’t want the shot. B laughs and other cheer to down it and B does, A and B then go to bar with another and buys every a shot and drink them together.
A goes home early as drunk and that night gets a text that drinking spiking is not cool to a college (from a separate person) and she won’t be having it. A explains the situation but the question is was that spiking as B watched her do it and was offered not to drink it but apparently was so drunk she fell and hit her head- but A stated (group message) 1/2 a shot would not of done that and now all up in the air with work in the morning.
what’s right here

You are all being unreasonable. Drinking to insensibility is bloody stupid, and you were all egging each other on.

I wouldn't say it's spiking if you do that in plain sight of the person and with the intention of them seeing you. B didn't have to drink the drink but did in full knowledge of what was in there.

Peer pressure may have made it difficult to say no, and in that case it is a bit different, but it depends if B felt like they had no choice and couldnt say no.

If I had a friend who did that, I'd probably laugh and drink the drink because I don't worry about being vulnerable around my friends. If my colleagues did I would refuse the drink.

A shouldn't have tipped alcohol into someone's drink but B knew it was there. Depends how much more alcohol B drank as well.

YANU the drink wasn’t spiked if B watched and had an opt out. B needs to take responsibility for their own drinking and response to peer pressure.

B had already had a bottle of wine and A had 2 glassed plus that half shot and 1 more - A then went home so no idea what was drunk by B after they went. A messaged me as really upset about being accused of spiking a drink and the seriousness of that when not her intent at all

No. This is not spiking a drink. This is done, usually by men to take take advantage of women. Not by someone sharing a shot. This could happen to any of us. If someone tried to accuse me of this I'd be blocking and not going out with them again. Just to protect myself from stupid people.

My view was B needs to take responsibility for her drinking as an adult and to accuse someone of spiking is serious and A is really anxious about going to work now

I can't do a's and b's, give me some names

For record B never accused A this was by someone else sharing a hotel with them that night - A went home which also worried A as feels people were talking about her and accusing her

Sounds like the 3rd person has misunderstood what happened but no I wouldn't class that as spiking.

Not spiking. People blaming being drunk on spiking isn't fair on people who get genuinely spiked.

It's not spiking its not secretive, but the while thing sounds childish beyond belief.

How old are A and B? Who ruins someone's drink by chucking a shot in it without asking them?

Are you saying they thought they were genuinely spiked or that they drank a drink with more alcohol in it??

Non event if the issue is the latter. If the former something seriously amiss.

That’s a dirty pint not a spike. No drugs involved

You all need to grow up and stop drinking like stupid teenagers.

Everyone sounds ridiculously childish so A will probably now get blamed for Bs drunken state. No, it isn't spiking, but women can be appalling bitches to each other so A may well be right to be concerned about what they were saying.

Incidentally a lot of 'spiking' turns out to be 'drinking far too much'. Yes, real spiking can be adding shots to drinks - but secretly! B asked for the shot!

B literally asked A for a shot! And then drank her drink knowing that there was half a shot in it. And then proceeded to drink more.

C is an idiot and should be told so

"drinking spiking is not cool to a college (from a separate person)"

This doesn't make sense. What is it supposed to mean?

Where you still bladdered when you wrote the post OP because the spelling is a bit off?

Seriously, you all need to grow up and leave the playground.🙄

Colleague

I can't make head nor tail of it all, but I thought the drunk person was saying there was no way they were that drunk on half a shot and so someone must have slipped something in their drink. Maybe I'm misunderstanding it all though.

Anyway, I agree it's probably best for everyone to drink less on a work night out Too much booze can lead to all kinds of trouble.

She wasn't spiked if she knew what was in her drink.

It's not spiking. B knew and chose to drink it. B is responsible for her own drinking and the wine will have done most of the damage. A shot is generally a single unit, large glasses (250ml) of wine can exceed 3 units each.
I find customers that drink wine get more drunk faster than most others - also because of the volume being smaller, they have many more units in a shorter space of time. It also doesn't seem to mix well with other drinks if you switch from wine to anything else.
strongly recommend drinking water / fizzy water alongside wine if you're having a couple of glasses.

Not spiking, B knew what was going on presumably. But if B was absolutely hammered then it wasn't the best idea to give them a shot. Still, nothing for work to get involved with. A & B should just explain what happened if it does end up with HR. B needs to work on resistance to peer pressure.
