Bartender Lists The Warning Signs You've Been Drugged After Having Her Drink Spiked At A Bar

\u201cSomeone drugged my drink this weekend.\n\nHere\u2019s are some symptoms of a spiked drink that I wish I knew beforehand (and was never told):\u201d

\u201cI woke up incredibly confused in the morning because I have never totally blacked out in my life, even on my craziest nights.\n\nApparently this is very common. If you\u2019ve never blacked out before but suddenly lose hours of memory after a couple of drinks, that\u2019s a HUGE red flag.\u201d

\u201cI didn\u2019t feel normalish until Sunday night. I slept over 12 hours that night and then called my doctor who said my symptoms aligned with a drug rather than simply being drunk.\u201d

\u201cI have no idea who did it. I was getting a single drink alone after my bar shift at my local bar. And next thing I knew, I was awake in my bed, on my side, with vomit down the front of my shirt.\u201d

\u201cI\u2019m fine. I\u2019m good. I was lucky someone saw something wrong and insisted on walking me home.\u201d

\u201c@abughazalehkat Thanks for sharing. Trying to educate my girls on this before they get any older.\u201d

\u201c@AriDrennen I\u2019m just floored by how many people have had this exact thing happen to them. Horrifying shit :(\u201d

\u201cI don\u2019t know what else to say except, #MeToo sending so much love to you @abughazalehkat and all the others who\u2019ve experienced this and we\u2019re forever changed.\u201d

\u201c@LovinCanada @abughazalehkat Men get this weird feeling like admitting there\u2019s a problem will somehow make them a part of the problem when it\u2019s really the opposite\u201d

\u201c@Kelly_Wohlford @abughazalehkat @FeasterFamine Happened to me once too\n\nWas sipping beer & playing pool at a lesbian bar with some acquaintances\n\nFelt queasy half way thru my beer & decided to leave, crashed my car into a loading dock a few blocks from the highway on-ramp then crawled in the back seat & passed out\u201d

\u201c@saabelieves @abughazalehkat @AMWClarkLaw I was drugged by the bartender when he opened the beer bottle. The only people who believed me were my friend who got me home and told my roommate, and the ER nurse who had a yelling match with the doctor. 3oz of Miller lite is not enough to cause vomiting and convulsions.\u201d

\u201cI wish there wasn\u2019t a reason to rt, but this is so important\u201d

\u201c@Nancymagill like jfc I just wanted a drink after being on my feet for 10 hours. No one should have to be hyper vigilant every second they're in public.\u201d

\u201cI can\u2019t stick a \u201clike\u201d on this, but I hope you\u2019ll read it and pass it along to every woman you know.\u201d

\u201c@MaryMaryh916 @abughazalehkat This is the thing that scares me. That someone you know well and is a friend could do this. Obviously this is who he was all along and he managed to keep it hidden\u201d
