Spiking mens drinks, (11)
jagtom: Elaine Hindal, chief executive of alcohol education charity Drinkaware, says men face a "pervasive" peer pressure when it comes to drinking, which can make them less aware of their vulnerability when they are out in bars and clubs than women might be.
The charity often hears that people don't report a drink being spiked because they fear they won't be believed, or that they will be seen as "making an excuse" for having drunk too much.
Ms Hindal says this may be "even more challenging for men" because there is not enough discussion around their vulnerability more broadly.
She stresses that the vast majority of drink-spiking victims are women, but that the Sinaga case has brought the issue of male victims to light.
"The kind of advice we give to women applies to them as well - stick together, look out for each other, make a plan to get home together so that you stay safe," she says.
Catherine Bewley, from the LGBT+ anti-violence organisation, Galop, said all victims deserved respect and appropriate support, which did not judge or blame them, whatever their gender or circumstances.
Manchester University students' union says it runs regular drink-spiking awareness campaigns at its venues, in particular during freshers' week.

gamma-butyrolactone (GBL)
tranquillisers, for example benzodiazepines, including Valium (diazepam), or Rohypnol.
ketamine.
there is at least one case in The United States where spiking a drink was determined to be attempted murder. Not groovy---in all states it is a felony (Federal crime) to do this.

Thanks for your relevent comment Ro, I suppose it doesn't matter to the women, if it happens to a man
I'm against spiking somebody drink, it's best to take your drink with you, I wouldn’t trust a friend to hold it either
Men's drinks do get spiked but the numbers are not like women's. My advice to anyone, man or woman is to never leave your drink out of sight and if anyone offers to buy you a drink, make sure you watch the drink get made and have it passed to you directly.
jac_the_gripper: Victim blaming and denying any vulnerability all in one.
It might not be your mate who spikes you.
And in certain situations, no one has mates yet, like freshers week.

ChesneyChrist: You hang around with people you think might drug you?
I thought the definition of friend was someone you can trust. I wouldn't consider someone a friend if I thought they were going to drug me. And this is why they keep saying, when you go out stick with your friends look out for one another. Get by with a little help from your friends although maybe not your Muslim friends who may very well bury you under a mound of stones. You should choose your friends more wiselyAnd it goes without saying that people you meet on freshers week don't count as friends. These are meat in the room you've known for five minutes.
When I use the word friends I mean friends. Not a stranger you've just met but people you trust more and treat better than a stranger you've just met. People you have any sort of genuine trust for or bond with which means you are not suspicious of everyone you meet like people in prison are.

You might choose to surround yourself with those who want to bury you under a mound of stones, but don't take healthy relationships away from everybody else. There are people who would do a lot for you, even people who would have given their lives for you, and my best friend was one of them. You would lose a lot if you treat your nearest and dearest are treated like you don't know them from Adam. Why not just work under the assumption that your own daughter is going to come at you with a bread knife?
