Pattifan, have you ever been spiked? I have. You wake up and don't remember how you got home, even though you know you haven't drunk so much that you'd pass out. Your memory just goes a little blurry at first and then it all goes black; you don't know what happened and you start questioning yourself first, thinking you might have overdone it on the drinks. Thank God I had a friend with me who brought me home safely, but it could've been a lot worse. I'm sure people claim their drink was spiked to get away with drugabuse, but I don't find it likely for that person to ask for help on what it could have been on the internet. And I don't know about you, but I usually taste it when there's alcohol in my drink - especially if it's supposed to be non-alcoholic.

Snake1992: ***** that it happened. I hope in the future you will do the same I do: never leave your drink out of sight, even for a second. Keep you hand over your drink whenever possible, don't even leave at a friend when you go to the toilet (because however much they promise to watch out, they never do as much as you would want them to) and preferably drink drinks from a bottle when you're in a crowded area. This so you can put your thumb on the opening and no one has a chance to put anything in it. I hope it never happens to you again!

In a huge survey in Europe covering ten years, it was found that less than 1 in 1000 drink-spiking claims were actually shown to be due to drink spiking.  In the vast majority of cases, clients had put drugs in their own drinks then covered their actions by claiming drink spiking.
In the remainder, most people simply had bad reactions to alcohol, or had other medical conditions by coincidence, such as food poisoning. Others were taking prescribed medication on top of alcohol and hadn't considered this.

Please be reassured that I am not calling you a liar. I am quite certain that you believe what you are saying, but what hard evidence do you have that your drink was spiked and why would anyone do it?

A date rape drug could have caused you to pass out, but it wouldn't make you sick for 2 days.

Unfortunately, if your drink was spiked, you will never know what was put in it. Only a blood test within a few hours could have told you that.

Thinking back, is there any other possible explanation. Had you been feeling unwell? Were you drinking more than usual? Were you drinking on an empty stomach? Had you eaten anything unusual or that tasted bad? Had you been sleep deprived? Were you under a lot of stress? Were you on any prescription medication or over-the-counter medication or even herbs? Had you had any other drugs (weed or ecstasy for example)? Had you been recovering from a viral infection like flu?

By far the commonest 'spike' in a drink is alcohol. e.g. if you were drinking coke, someone may have kept adding vodka to it. Acute alcohol toxicity could indeed account for the symptoms you describe.

There are many other explanation, and it may have been a combination of two or more factors.

Even if it was a drug, it will be well out of your system by now, so it shouldn't cause you any concern.

If you have any more information, I could give you a better informed opinion, but like I said, no-one will ever know for sure.

Take care
