Mike Domitrz explains that alcohol, not exotic drugs, is the most common substance used in sexual assaults. Perpetrators typically encourage victims to drink more rather than secretly spike drinks. Safety advice should focus on limiting alcohol consumption and protecting your drink, not just preventing spiking.
What's the number one date rape drug in the history of the world? Alcohol. Alcohol. So when everybody likes to talk about, oh, watch out for this drug, watch out for that drug, here's the weird part. They're telling you to cover the alcohol, which is the drug they're using. Like, put your hand over your drink so nobody puts anything into the drink. It's the drink itself that they're using. So we have to be aware of when people use these sort of fear tactics, like, oh, watch out, they're putting drugs in your drink. No, they're just handing you another drink. That's the goal, to get enough drinks going. That's usually what people are doing. Now, do some people use other drugs into those drinks? Yeah, and that's messed up. Right? Really, really messed up. So it's often more the alcohol that they're using in that situation.
