How to AVOID drink spiking

It can happen to anyone, no matter how careful you are, but you can try to minimise the risk by following these suggestions:

Don’t accept drinks from strangers or leave drinks unattended. If someone offers you a drink, go to the bar with them.

Buy or pour your own drinks and know what you are drinking.

Don’t drink something you did not open, or see opened or poured.

If you’re unsure about your drink, leave it.

If you feel dizzy or sick, ask someone you trust to take you to a safe place. If you are alone or can’t find your friends tell the staff behind the bar or someone you know, if you are at a party.

Keep an eye on your friends. If someone collapses and is unconscious, call an ambulance immediately—but do not leave them alone.

If you’re on a date with someone you don’t know arrange for a friend to call you during the evening and/or pick you up. Meet in a public space. Arrange your own transport.
