4. Sadly, it's not terribly uncommon

I have two friends it happened to, and I don’t have a lot of girlfriends.

One didn’t know she was raped until she found out she was pregnant and hadn’t had sex in over 6 months. She thought she just drank too much and passed out. It was devastating. The other friend was drugged at the bar we worked at, a place we trusted and knew everyone. Thankfully, she and a very trusted friend left to go smoke a bowl and he noticed she was “off” and helped her get home. She had downed the rest of her drink real quick right before they left. She has no memory after leaving the bar. (the friend was 100% legit, and gay, to boot, and he was absolutely livid when he returned to the bar. She had thrown darts with a group of three guys we didn’t know, so we think it was them.)

Never, ever set your drink down.
I am 1000% for bars being required to carry these testing strips.
