Safety Advice Drink Spiking
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spiking is when someone adds drugs or alcohol to another person’s
drink without them knowing.
It is illegal.
Whether it’s done as a ‘prank’ or with intent to steal from,
assault or harm the victim, there is some simple advice you can follow
to stop it happening to you or your friends.
🚨 Never lose sight of your drink 🚨
It can take just minutes to feel the effects of a spiked drink.
The best way to protect yourself is keep an eye on your drink, from the
moment you order it.
Don’t take a drink that you haven’t seen being prepared, don’t
leave your drink unattended.
If you nip to the toilet, make sure a friend is keeping an eye on it.
If it doesn’t taste right, don’t finish it.
🚨 Be vigilant if you’re drinking with strangers 🚨
It’s great to meet new people, but keep your wits about you and be
cautious if strangers offer you a drink.
Keep an eye on your friends, make sure you know where everyone is.
🚨 Report concerns as soon as possible 🚨
Feeling unwell? Seek medical advice and stay with someone you know. It
might be tempting to get outside and away from a crowd but stay in a
safe place.
If you suspect your drink, or your friends, has been spiked then tell
the bar, club, or venue as quickly as possible.
If you’ve been spiked, report it to police as soon as you can.
The more information we have, big or small, provides us with a better
chance of identifying linked incidents or those responsible.
