• Drink spiking does occur.

• If your drink is salty, chemical-tasting, or gritty, stop drinking.

• Spiking is just as likely to occur in a home or party as it is in a nightclub or bar.

• It is more likely to be carried out by someone you know, or have recently stuck up a friendship with, then a stranger.

• The drug most likely to be used is alcohol.

• If you are already intoxicated, you are more like to be a target.
