altDrink spiking is when mind-altering substances, such as drugs or alcohol have been added to your drink without you knowing. Mind-altering means that it may affect how you act, or how you behave with other people.

There are many reasons why someone might spike a drink, but the most common reasons are for amusement or to carry out sexual assault, rape, or theft.

Symptoms of drink spiking will depend if a drug was used, and how much alcohol you have drunk. You will need to have your blood or urine tested by the police to confirm that you have been spiked with drugs.

Drink spiking is illegal, even if an attack or assault has not been carried out. It can result in a maximum of 10 years in prison for anyone who does it. If an assault, rape, or robbery is then carried out the sentence will be even higher.

It is not only females who are likely to have their drink spiked. Almost 11% of people who report having their drink spiked are male.
