Spiked drinks discussion.

I just came across this community a few moments ago, and read a pretty harrowing post about a gentleman’s terrifying experience with having possibly been spiked. I saw a few comments suggesting other possible causes for the night, but it genuinely made me curious. Are there any telling signs?

I ask this because last year I had an experience myself, and wanted to get opinions, without hijacking someone else’s post.

I was out one night, and was starting the night off with two of my friends at one of the gay bar I frequented on the weekends. Keep in mind I’m out alone, for the most part, as in I just show up and whatever happens, happens. So, that night I’m with them, ordering drinks, and I notice a guy looking in our direction, and while I’m looking he mouths, “you’re so cute”. I found him attractive, so I smiled and nodded, looked away and we took off to see the drag show.

Next thing I know, I’m sort of coming to at this guy’s house, and we’re skinny dipping in his pool. I feel like I remember swimming, but I definitely remember making out with him, and there being an older gentleman at the table, in the dark, just kind of watching.

It goes dark again, then I vaguely remember being on the bathroom floor and he was drying me off. Goes dark again, and then we’re on his bed, and I felt the weight of him on me, and I asked him to get off. I must have insisted a bit because I know I started crying and screamed for him to get off. He let me go, I got my stuff, and went outside to order my Uber. I Ubered to the friend’s house that I started out the night with, as they usually leave the key out for me during the weekend.

When I woke up I drove back home, stopped for some breakfast, honestly didn’t even think anything of what happened. I head out to work, at some point I just went downhill. I vomited three times, and I had terrible diarrhea. I chucked it up to a terrible hangover, but I’d never had experienced one that bad. Historically, I’ll maybe vomit once and I’m good.

The following weekend, I go out, and the security guard asked me if I was okay. I laughed and said I was fine, and asked what prompted the question? They proceeded to tell me that I was kicked out that night because they found me getting fucked by this guy in the stall. My stomach dropped as I genuinely had no recollection, and they could tell. They told me that I had no expression on my face when they were taking me out.

Shaken up, I go to the bar and my bartender friend also asked me if I was okay. He reiterated what security told me, and he said that he had a feeling that kid was up to something because he had his eyes on me all night. I’m really close to the bartenders and security, and they really look out for me because guys sometimes get weird with me. The bartender said he went to find me, but that I was already kicked out.

I told him about my terrible hangover, and he confidently said that I was spiked. The security agreed. I left the bar and called one of my close friends, to run things by her as I didn’t really talk to anyone about it, because I barely processed the little I did remember. I mentioned it didn’t make sense that I was able to swim, or that he’d let me go if he was really intending to hurt me, etc. She basically told me that these men target people who are already feeling their oats, and when they start coming to consciousness, they let them go, so there’s no imprinted memory.

I have no idea if I was spiked, I could have very well just been drunk off my ass and gone of my own volition. But, is there a chance I was spiked? If you have any experience, or knowledge on this stuff, please let me know what you think. Thank you. 🙏🏽

Also, forgive me for the paragraphs.
