Aged 26
I was enjoying a birthday night out with my friends. We went straight to the bar to order drinks and it was busy. A man at the bar started chatting with me. It seemed innocent enough, like friendly banter, so I thought nothing of it. I ordered two drinks, and while I was waiting for them to be served to me my friend pointed out some giant novelty sunglasses on the floor which I picked up and put on. In the time I had turned around (literally about five seconds) this man had taken one of the drinks I had been served and spiked it. I was confused wondering where my other drink was, and he acted like he’d pretended to steal it and handed it back to me. I took a sip and it tasted completely wrong, especially when comparing it to my other non-spiked drink. My friend agreed that it looked and tasted like it had been spiked, and we immediately left the venue. We weren’t in there longer than five minutes.
