I reckon this talk of spiked drinks is wildly blown out of proportion too. It's an excuse a lot of women use to avoid being blamed for getting totally hammered. I remember on a works night out one woman downing at least twelve shots of vodka, one after the other, and being totally wasted. The next morning she was telling everyone that someone MUST have spiked her drinks because she felt so "dizzy" after all that vodka.

I remember a few months ago, there was a woman arrested for drunk driving who refused to take the breath test. The next day she claimed that she had been given the date rape drug, which was the cause of her bad driving and decision making. This is convenient, because all traces of the drug would have dissipated by then. The local rape crisis center jumped in demanding better training of police to recognize signs of "victims" like this, and that the charges be dropped. I don't know what happened in the end.
It's not just a defense against bad drunken bahavior, but it's part of the whole rape conspiracy hysteria. I've recently taken down signs in the men's room at a local bar urging men to "watch her drink" as if there is a date rape drug epidemic.

I too have removed DV posters in the mens' room in a bar as they implied that only men abuse.
I refuse to be browbeaten with feminist dogma in the one place they (generally) keep out of.

I just got through having my safety manager remove a poster showing a man attacking a woman.
He was sympathetic because he know what being aboused by a woman means.
Thanks god! All we need is another poster teaching women that men are evil at work.
Gad. The bitches are so protected it is pathetic.

yes - they spiked her drink with vodka. That is very devious to sneak 12 shots of vodka past her lips.

When you think of the casual use and therefore the incidence of false rape claims (which are very serious), claiming a drink was spiked is easy for some women.
Rather than an epidemic of spiked drinks, it's an epidemic of spiked claims. Yawn......
How much trouble can THAT get you out of if you're a woman with something to hide or are embarrassed by your behaviour??

*sarcasm on*
You forgot that "taking advantage of" includes not realizing that a drunken/drugged "please have sex with me!" means "no." It doesn't matter if their drink was spiked or not, it just makes you less of an active participant in their downfall if it wasn't. File under 'women are never at fault, ever in their lifetimes, for situations which are not 100% to their liking.'
*sarcasm off*
Unsurprising data, but I don't think it will make too much of a difference in how "they took advantage of me!" stories will turn out - men being blamed.
