Was my drink spiked?

Question

I went to a club for my birthday. My sister, her boyfriend, and my boyfriend came along. I had 3 vodka and cranberries from 11:30-2:00AM. My boyfriend brought the 4th drink back and told me the bartender gave it to him for free. The drink was very bitter tasting. I kept telling everyone how bad it tasted. I drank half of the drink. 15 minutes later I started to get dizzy and disoriented. I stumbled to the bathroom and blacked out. My sister said I tried to stand 3 times but kept blacking out. I eventually came to, but felt very disoriented for about 20 minutes and was sweating more than I ever had. The whole incidence lasted about 45 minutes. I felt better after that, but there was a time in the bathroom that I didn't know if I would be able to make it out. I'm a responsible drinker. I never go out to get drunk and have never experienced this before. I ate before leaving the house and my boyfriend swears he watched the bartender mix the drink. Everything happened and ended so quickly.

Answer 1

Any drink tasting bitter or funny, you should avoid & don't trust ANYBODY.

Answer 2

Assuming there was a single nip of vodka in each drink, you had 3.5 standard drinks in 2.5 hours.

According to Australian standards, a female should have a MAXIMUM of 4 standard drinks in 24 hours!

The fact that the 4th drink tasted strange suggests it may have been more than a single nip of vodka.'

The symptoms you have described could be from drink spiking, but if you are of a slight build then the amount of alcohol in 3 drinks could have caused these symptoms in that amount of time.

Answer 3

you should have had your boyfriend watch the guy make it. no offense but your bf is a fool for giving it to you if it was free. he should have more common sense than that.

Answer 4

never had it happen to me personally, but it sounds like it, and sounds fishy if it was free... Just don't go there again is my advice.
