I tagged this as news but can I ask, are we reporting anecdotal stories from people as fact now?
I know drink spiking is a thing but they have no results yet and we are hearing 3rd hand information allegedly from doctors confirming he was spiked.
>It was confirmed by the people in the accident and emergency department – they told us that this is what is happened. And don’t forget that this is a Monday night in Cork?
Like really?
Don’t want to minimise it but this has a feeling of drank too much and is blaming it on being spiked, why are the indo publishing this?
He was never like that after 15 Pints before
The drinks were definitely spiked…
With alcohol
My wife’s brother went out in Galway one night when he was like 22. This fella goes hard on the drink when it suits him but all of his mates said it was a chill night
He had to be carried home and said he felt so different and out of control than he ever had on drink and was sure someone had spiked him (accidentally or not)
Everyone who didn’t help him that night laughed him off and assumed he must have had too many drinks because he was a “pint man” or some daft cunts that suggested he took the drugs willingly.
Spiking is no joke and it happens for more reasons than just sexual assault. I remember a lad nearly getting battered because he thought it was funny to sprinkle bits of MDMA into randomers drinks at a house party.
I remember the first time I downed half a bottle of vodka at 17….i told my parents i had one drink but it must had something in it
From watching some medical programmes it seems in the UK spiking the drinks of young people (male and female) has become some kind of malicious almost random prank activity. Seems to be common around university areas.
Not say they weren’t spiked, but I had several friends that were “spiked” over my teens and twenties
It was strange that it always coincided with them getting well on the way to absolutely shitfaced before we even got into the club
Certainly not related to the 20 pints and the 3 snorts
I’m very surprised people can’t taste gbl in a drink it has a very distinct smell and flavour, but I guess if you are shitfaced you might not cop it. G does wear off quickly enough circa an hour, but as gaba a agonist and booze is a gaba b agonist, it can have a compounding effect of the drug
I’m trying to imagine my parents contacting the fucking media after I landed home in bad shape as a young fella.
Its a bullshit story because his aul fella has pull. Lets see the tox report or else stfu.
Ive worked in city pubs and late bars for decades and have been on the receiving end of phone calls from concerned parents claiming their ADULT child was spiked. I always told them to take them to the hospital and get a tox report and then contact gardaí if it was conclusive, never heard anything further from any of them. It’s always fucking bullshit young ones who over indulge and blame someone else for them puking behind the rad.
This scare story comes out almost annually with zero evidence. Of course there are very rare horrendous cases of spiking, but this article is absolute bullshit.
Sounds like son had a bad trip and instead of trying to explain it to their Dad they blame someone spiking them..
