Many victims of drink spiking are dismissed by authorities as “Drunk” and “On Drugs” before autopsies prove their stories true, too late for them to get a proper recovery and continue living.

Spiking or Lacing a drink is the act of putting a foreign substance (Often alcohol, hallucinogens, or date rape drugs) into a person's drink without them knowing it.

It is one of the most under-reported crimes in the entire UK, as many think that they've had “One too many”.

Victims and their families were outraged by the news that they were labelled as drug addled hooligans who had way too much to drink.

Launching multiple lawsuits against law enforcement and clubs, and holding demonstrations in order to demand change.

In 2021, 1,895 men and women were victims of drink spiking, with a noticeable peak in cases in October.
