No, just carry your drink! Is it so difficult? Newbies!gavinmac wrote:I think the FB post above about the Wall has been deleted now too. Some tosser responded that you should carry a wine stopper with you and plug your beer bottle when you go for a piss.
It's like a sobriety test. If you don't spill your drink, you're OK!
No stumble drunks and only 8+ poisons here!
Just:
1. Tobacco (in some places),
2. Alcohol,
3. Marijuana,
4. Hashish,
5. Heroine,
6. Speed/meth,
7. Ecstasy,
8. Caffeine,
9. Etc.
... allowed.
No scopalamine!
Haha.
All jokes aside, too bad the motion sickness patch (with a tiny bit of scopolamine) keeps you from nausea and vomiting while moving, but does nothing for alcohol poisoning.

yeah fully agree with this,YaTingPom wrote:Why is it never the "victim" that starts these posts/FB rants and always a friend or friend of a friend's friend?
i think its just their friends being too embarrassed at how drunk they got the night before so claim "i must have been spiked"... yeah sure mate, man up

I was also very doubtful about such claims until I experienced it firsthand. That was about 5 years ago at the pirate’s near dolphins where I was a regular. I was well rested and previously had dinner with 2 glasses of wine followed by two vodkas mixers which as you know couldn’t have much impaired my senses since my early drinking days, now 30 years ago.Jamie_Lambo wrote:yeah fully agree with this,YaTingPom wrote:Why is it never the "victim" that starts these posts/FB rants and always a friend or friend of a friend's friend?

As I was drinking my very first drink over there, I left my glass briefly unattended on the bar to say hello to a girlfriend. Shortly afterward as I just finished that drink I knew I wasn’t in my right state and immediately left driving my car, as I could foresee my falling down.
That drive home was as bad as if I had just snorted some K but I still managed to reach home, stumbled a bit in the stairwell, before collapsing for about 18 hours on my bed, fully dressed with shoes on, eventually awaking with a non surprising monstrous headache.
No one ever saw a thing but I always thought it must have been some mistake involving glass swapping as it wasn’t hard for any perpetrator to figure out that plenty of people would come to my help if seen being escorted out by strangers like a zombie, especially as it was still very early in the night.
Ps: do you member when I openly spiked your face on our first meet?

but as you, and many others have (convincingly) said, you knew at the time you were under the influence of something other than alcohol
people who get blackout drunk and blame it on drugs though, when its just the effects of too much sudden alcohol in the blood stream,
tbf i am going more off experiences in England where Binge Drinking is almost a part of our "culture" and far more common, people who have one too many shots, which cause the sudden alcohol to the brain leading to blackout drunk symptoms (en bloc or fragmentary),
people who often were having a steady night, then have some shots, to which most don't even remember taking, then waking up not remembering much, is not uncommon and just down to the alcohol,
people who have a few drinks, then black out, but proceed to carry on having a full nights drinking racking up $140 in bar bills, managing to go home and have a shower etc then blame it on being spiked...? not so convincing
ps. it was our 2nd or 3rd meet i think, and i member it well

I dint get why so many of you think it's fake or something. It's happened to two people I've known. Not at Howie's, but it can happen almost anywhere (sort of). Many of you are talking like it's the Sasquatch, or at best a solar eclipse or something. This stuff happens if you hang out in dodgy places with the wrong people.

ive known a quite a number of friends here who have had it happen to them (drinks spiked), one even down the beach in the middle of the afternoon and had his money/wallet stolen, ive even been in the company of people who have had their drinks spiked on a number of occasions, ive heard and seen enough stories to be able to have an opinion of which ones are more believable than others, but as i mentioned in my post, my posts werent to be taken too seriouslyLexusSchmexus wrote:I dint get why so many of you think it's fake or something.

I was spiked once in Cambodia, by some brasses, in an Irish Pub, around 2012.
I had closed Quealy's for the night and (unusually for me) had only had maybe four glasses of beer before going there.
I had two vodka soda's, took a leak, and when I went to leave I could barely stand and couldn't throw a leg over my moto.
I left it there and walked home via st 178 and 19 with extreme difficulty( think staggering four or five steps backward or to the side every few metres), made it upstairs to my front door, got my keys out, and next thing I knew I was woken up by the upstairs neigbour around seven hours later who handed me my phone, computer and keys and told me I should probably go inside now.
As I wasn't robbed, I didn't mind so much. Free drugs ftw.

Was drugged only once and it nearly got me killed in Thailand. Woke up in a Bangkok ICU after getting the shit beat out of me. A year later I was back in Cambodia and bought a beer at a hostess bar, as I got the beer I noticed a white powdery substance on top. I paid and left. It could be nothing of course, but I didn't want to take the chance, thinking to myself, there's no waking up from a Khmer ICU
Numbnuts all grown up
Hello,
Just visited Phnom Penh on the weekend and my drink was spiked too. The last thing I remember is that I went into Madam Butterfly 2. I drank my third gin tonic (which is really not much for me), and the next thing I remember is, that a girl woke me up in a hotel room, which was not mine. I guess the reason was, because she couldn't find my money. As seasoned person in Asia, I have my tricks.
It was really bad and I was lucky that I didn't end up in hospital or worth. I was shivering, hot and cold, my whole body was hurting like hell and I felt, like I didn't sleep at all, which only happens when knocked out without any dreaming activities. This never happens to me.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL! I'm sure it's not every lady bar in Phnom Penh, but it's better to be careful than dead.

Some tricks:
- Ask for an unopened beer, this helps. This was one of my strategies in Thailand.
Another thing is that you bring your own beer from the supermarket, and pay them the same price, a beer would cost. They will accept in most cases, as they don't want to lose out on business. Also it makes them aware, that they will go out of business, if they proceed this way.
Store the large money under the sole of your shoes. Or at least in the small side pocket of the jeans. There are also special belts you can buy, that have a small space to store money. As more they succeed with this behaviour, the more they will do it.
Never leave your drink unattended, to note for me too, and not drink any open drinks.
I think spiking is quite common. It happened to me once in that bikie bar that was diagonally opposite the Walkabou.

So these bars drug you if you buy their drinks, but won't drug you if you pay them to drink your BYO cans in their bar? And people actually do this? Repeatedly? It's a brilliant business plan.
