Because these drugs are mostly tasteless and hard to detect, we must be diligent in our effort to protect ourselves, our friends and loved ones from falling prey to the predators who use them.
Here are a few steps which can be taken to help reduce your risk.
1. NEVER leave your drink unattended. If you do, throw it away and get another.
2. Accept drinks from the bartender or server ONLY, if you are in a club. If at a party don't take a drink from someone you don't know well or trust.
3. Remember, because they are virtually tasteless, colorless, and odorless, the new "date-rape" drugs can be placed in any beverage...milk, tea, soft drinks, alcohol, or juice.
4. Watch your friends behavior and ask them to watch yours. Why? Because if you begin to behave as if you are extreemly intoxicated after only a small amount of your drink has been consumed, there's a good chance you may have been drugged already.
5. Discuss with your friends the various ways which you may look after each other when at a party or club.
6. If you or your friend appears to have consumed something, go IMMEDIATELY to a hospital or call 911.
Keep a sample of the suspected beverage so that it can be analyzed.
Symptoms to watch for are dizziness, confusion, feeling sleepy or anything else that is different from your normal behavior after a drink or two.
BE AWARE! BE SAFE!
