Drug-Rap...ish ish

I was reading this article in 3R and its a good article and was given some good tips for all la...Drug-Rap, scary la after i read the story...ish ish...

Drug-rape drugs can be colourless, tasteless and odourless, but here are some practical ways you can reduce the risk of drug-rape and protect yourself:

1. Never ever leave your drink unattended. If you have to go to the toilet, either finish your drink first or take it with you. If for whatever reason you have left it unattended, do not drink it. Order a different drink.

2. If a stranger offers you a drink, do not accept it. Even if colleagues or acquaintances offer you a drink, make sure that you see it poured into the glass or opened to make sure that no one has touched the drink before that.

3. If you are drinking, be aware of your tolerance to alcohol. If you are feeling nauseous, dizzy, or completely drunk only after a small amount of alcohol relative to your tolerance, go to a safe place immediately.

4. If you are with someone that you implicitly trust, inform him/her about your worries. You can also inform the management about your worries. Then get the person to send you home. Ask them to stay with you until the drug has worn off.

5.If you are going out in a group, nominate someone who will not be drinking to keep an eye on the drinks.

6. Plan your journey to and from home if you are going on a night out.

7. Be aware of your surroundings, and stay away from a situation that you are uncomfortable with.

8. Whenever possible, drink from a bottle or can. It is more difficult to drop a pill through the mouth of a bottle or a can than a glass. You can also put a thumb over the top of your bottle or can. Again do not leave your drink unattended.

9. Drinking non-alcoholic drinks does not mean you will be safe. Drinks such as water, cola, tea, coffee, milkshakes and milk have been known to be spiked.

10. Do not share or exchange drinks.

11. Consider very carefully before you leave a place with someone that you have just met.
