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.
