I'm doing this survey to see how women commonly react. These following questions are for people who respond yes.
1. Read this following paragraph please:
Rohypnol, GHB, and Ecstasy have been used in date rape and sexual assault. The drugs are odorless and nearly tasteless, so they can be easily added to a drink without a woman's knowledge. They cause the victim may pass out or be unable to fight off unwanted sexual advances. They also cause memory loss, so victims may not remember what happened while they were under the influence of the drug.
1. Did you know about this?
2. Did you ever think of this?
3. Would you still take a drink after reading this?
4. Would you change anything?

2. How many of these precautions have you exercised?
Go to parties with groups of friends. Look out for each other and leave together.
Do not leave a party or event with someone you do not know, especially if you have been drinking or using drugs.
Avoid alcohol or drugs. They can impair your judgment and slow your response time.
Be on the look out for date rape drugs. Get your own drinks at parties and watch your drink at all times.
Meet your date at the restaurant, movie, or in a public place. Do not have them pick you up at your home.
Double date with friends until you get to know the person better.
Learn as much about the person as you can before the date.
Plan the date. Know the details. Where are you going? What time is the event? When will you be home?
Know how far you want to go on a date and clearly state your limits.
Carry money for a phone call or a prepaid phone card. Keep it with you, not in your purse. If you are in danger, call 911. It's a free call.

Well, I know ecstacy doesn't have the effects of date rape drugs but either way it still does make you do something you would have. and in a sense it is still rape because they had sex with you after they drugged you without your knowledge.
But still. It is not in that catagory, i just pasted that part.

Not directly relevant to the question, but I've heard that rule before. It's only held by people who are too stupid to actually talk to a woman. The only rule I have is this: if a man sends a server to a lady at another table with an offer of a drink, she has every right to decline. But if she accepts the drink, she explicitly agrees to a few minutes of conversation with the man who buys it.
Sounds lame, I know, but it saves time, saves money, and saves face. Oh, and if the server does the man this favor, the man is obligated to tip big!

Although I am married, if I was out with a friend (I would never go out on my own) I would definitely accept drinks from men that I wouldn't know.
But here's the catch. I would ONLY ever have drinks that were in glass bottles and then after getting the bottle straight from the bartender I would put in one of my plastic protectors. These rest at the top of the bottle and actually fit into the hole, still enabling you to drink safely, whilst not allowing any pills to go through.

long question. I used to accept drinks from guys I did not know but only when at a bar and the bartender brought the drink over if the guy himself brought it over I would just politely tell him it is not what I am drinking and do not mix drinks and if he offers to buy what I am drinking I would let him but insist on having the bartender bring it to me. I also never went to bars by myself EVER always was with a friend or two. Anyway now I don't drink any alcohol at all.

Yes I know about this and I think about it all the time. If I was a drinker I wouldn't accept any unless I am there to watch the bartender make it. I also think this happens anywhere besides at a bar. They can invite you to their place or you could take them to your house and they can put it in any of your drinks. Not necessarily alcoholic beverages.

No I do not accept drinks from men, I was already drugged and raped once, and it wasn't in a bar. It was a friends party, and it was a very close circle of friends, and there was random outsider that happened to show up. Anyway, I wouldn't do it in a bar either, because I don't want to send the man mixed messages. It's not worth the drama that could unfold later.
I didn't remember anything from before the time I woke up being raped, I remembered walking into my friends house, they were smoking pot, and I couldn't because I had a drug test, and wasn't going to fail it, so I started drinking a little, then I woke up with a man's penis in my rectum, I told him to stop but he wouldn't so then I started throwing up on the bed, and that's when he stopped. I grabbed the phone and called my bf in Florida, and he told me to leave, and he would have me on a plane in like 5 hours. I threw up for hours and hours. I didn't know anything about it. I got to florida around 10pm, still sick and throwing up. they did blood work, and I was positive for drugs.
Ecstasy will not make you completely forget everything, you will know what you are doing and when you are doing. You will make a conscious choice to have sex with that person. The drug will make you more willing, but it's not going to make you forget and you will know what you are doing. So please don't use ecstasy in the same category as date rape drugs, because it's not.

thanks for the information. Any women with common sense should know only to take drinks only from bartenders at the bar where they can see it being made, or when it's served to them directly. And only accept drinks from guys when they themselves see the drinks being made. Too bad some women lose their common sense at the doors of clubs and bars, this is why it's safest to go to such places with good friends who can watch over each other.
Also, I don't see what's wrong with accepting drinks from guys because it's only loser guys who made up the rule that you have to sleep with him if you take his drink. Come on, it's not like you made a deal. It's his money afterall, it should teach him a lesson that you can't buy women with drinks.

Ive never accepted a drink from someone I didnt know, and a responsible bar tender comes and informs you prior to pouring the drink.

No, I don't accept drinks from men or women that I don't know. I don't want to be beholden to a stranger, plus I like to pay my own way. It's different if we're friends, since I'll pay for their drinks the next time.

Yes, I have known about this for quite sometime. I do not ever accept drinks from a stranger unless I am at the bar to watch the drink being prepared. I also never ever, leave my drink unattended, and keep my drink in front of me at all times, usually in my hands. Thanks for posting this, very important information and I am sure their are some that are unaware. Thanks for the safety public service announcement. God bless****
