Spiked drinks at party!

[Card_Shark]

We had our works xmas/new year party this week and two of the staff have since complained of having their drinks spiked. I spoke to them both just prior to leaving the venue and both seemed fine, sure i could tell they were drunk but nothing more IMHO.

Nothing untoward happened to either person at the bash, or afterwards, but they did say a couple of things to various people, including me, which on reflection they may regret or find inappropriate in the cold light of day IE. when sober.

Do you think "i had my drink spiked" is ever used as an excuse for someone's inappropriate behaviour whilst drunk?

Yes.

I think nowadays, it's a very common excuse.

You obviously know the staff, have you seen them drunk before? If yes was this behaviour out of the ordinary to other times?

Maybe their drinks were spiked, probably you will never know.



Edit: What song did you sing?

Edit: What song did you sing?

I ended up singing 2, 1st song just to get the party underway was "The wonder of you" by Elvis Presley and i finished the night with "Delilah" by Tom Jones.....both classics IMO.

as you said the firm was taxi drivers i would make this offical

if the drinks were spiked (with gbh or whatever they call it) then you need to find out who did it

to ensure the safety of the public

if it was just drink then there aint much to worry about

[taximan007]

As they were "staff" I assumed they were office workers.

If they were in fact drivers, then knowing they were going to drink any amount of alcohol, they should have allowed for the next day off work in order to err on the side of caution. I am sure "card shark" being in the business as long as he has wouldn't allow otherwise anyway.

but the people spiking the drinks could of been drivers

[thetank]

People use the excuse "I was drunk" to shy away from any responsibility.

"I had my drink spiked" is all too often just an extention of that IMO.


A shame, as drink tampering is a very serious crime in this day and age. Crying wolf gives the true victims a harder time of it.

Yes. I agree.

Yes. I agree.

would you want your wife/girlfriend/mother/sister/daughter getting into a taxi with someone who spikes drinks

it could be a false alarm but it an industry with personal safety at risk i think you should be carefull

In answer to the 1st question, NO obviously not

I was taking  your original post seriously, I certainly wasn't being flippant, my apologies if it read that way.

I think I have just possibly had my brew spiked by the way I just spoke to the computor after going out of a game.

[Card_Shark]

I truly don't believe anyone had their drink's spiked for 2 reasons:

(A) None of the staff made any sort of formal complaint to me, or any other member of management, it was only mentioned to me in passing.

(B) My eldest of 3 daughters has Cystic Fibrosis and is often treated in hospital with drugs used as so called "date rape drugs" i have seen what they do to her and neither of the staff members concerned showed any signs of being affected by these drugs IMHO.

The problem in investigating this matter further is that these type of drugs leave your body completely within 24 hours of ingestion, no one even mentioned it to be until 48 hours after the party.
