Warning 3: Watch your fluids
See also Warning 1: Watch your nuts and Warning 2: watch your bag.
Sue is able to “hold her own” when she’s out for drinks with her mates and is often the one still dancing the night away when everyone else is exhausted. One recent night, she went to a bar for some cocktails. After finishing her second drink, she felt a bit off, set her head down and went to sleep. Her friends shook her awake an hour later, finding it strange that she “blacked out” and stranger that she needed help to walk to the taxi and get home.
Was Sue’s drink spiked? This is a good question. If reports from some my readers are any indication, Sue isn’t the only one who’s had this experience of late. Whether it’s someone blacking out and waking up disoriented 12 hours later or going to the hospital, sick after drinking and being told there is a “toxin” in his system, the word to consider is: caution. There’s no reason to panic but there is good reason to never leave your drink unattended, to patronize bars and bartenders you trust, and to make sure you party with people you know will get you home if something does go awry.
