Every now and then there is a burst of stories in the media about drink spiking in pubs and clubs throughout Australia. They paint a picture of countless predatory men determined to get young women intoxicated by stealth so they can take advantage of them sexually. Young women are warned to be vigilant, and keep an eye on their drinks (and those of their girlfriends) at all times.

Yet it seems that fear of this occurring is largely unfounded. A recent study conducted in Western Australia concludes that it hardly occurs at all. The excessive intoxication experienced by young women is usually due to their own drinking and drug taking, it seems.

What if someone will offer drink with drugs in it, It usually happens with teenage girls, when their partners want them to try intoxicated material. These cases are rare, but can hear in news now and then.
