Question

What are the best realistic ways to prevent being drugged by a spiked drink in a public bar/restaurant?

Answer 1

hang out w / friends , do not go w / strangers

Answer 2

Visit places you are familiar with, with friends you are comfortable with and always keep your eyes on your drink. If you think there maybe a problem with the drink get another one.  It is easier to replace a drink than to replace you.

Answer 3

keep your drink with you. know the people you're with and trust them.

Answer 4

Drink things served in bottles and keep an eye on the bottle, if you're that concerned.  Ie:  wine coolers, Mike's Hard Lemonade, beer, malt liquor, and so on.

Answer 5

well the best way would be obviously not to drink

Answer 6

Do not leave your drink unattended ever. If you leave your drink to go to the washroom when you return get rid of the drink. Take your drink to the washroom with you. Bottom line don't leave your drink Unattended!!

Answer 7

don't drink anything that's been out of your sight.

Answer 8

Eyes open all the time.  If you don't see the drink being poured by the barman in a pub/bar, don't drink it, unless it is a very close and trustworthy friend.  People can seem nice but they may not be.

Even if you have had only one sip and your eyes briefly leave your drink left on a table, don't drink it.  People can be very tricky and you may not notice them quickly putting something in your drink.

If you feel strange, immediately find a trustworthy friend, a security guard or bar staff.  Don't trust strangers to help you.

Answer 9

Just don't drink anything you have left open...
