Should I call a restaurant and let them know my drink was spiked there?

https://old.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/1e7o630/should_i_call_a_restaurant_and_let_them_know_my/?sort=confidence

Last night, my friends and I went to a restaurant in NJ. Only me and one other friend got nonalcoholic drinks yet after we left the restaurant we felt very intoxicated and weird. We are 99% sure that our drinks were spiked because we matched almost every common (and less common) symptom. Should we call the restaurant and let them know? We don't know who put the drugs in our drinks, it could have been the bartender, the waiter, or another patron. But should we just call the restaurant to let them know what happened so they can be on the lookout?

In other words, you have no reason to think your drink was spiked except an acute case of folie à deux. :marseyfoidretard: :marseyfrozenchosen2:

OP describes the malady in a buried comment:

My symptoms included: - feeling drunk even though I hadn't been drinking - wooziness - inability to walk straight - ⁠confusion - slurring my words - muscle spasms - ⁠loss of inhibition - hallucinations - inability to breathe properly (gasping for breath when I was standing still) - mild throat swelling (like my throat and the soft palate of my mouth were swollen but not enough to suffocate me) - nearly passing out multiple times - constant and extreme head rushes

A serious condition! But not one worth getting medical attention for. Conveniently, she explains, 19-year-old OP can't afford health insurance unlike the 92% of Americans that are covered. She's not on her parent's plan and despite being from Massachusetts, not on Medicaid. :marseynoooticer:


Redditors say no—don't just call the restaurant, call the police! The health department! An exorcist!

They should have cameras. Call them and tell them

Call the police first. Restaurant will probably be incentivized to hide any/all evidence of any wrongdoing (and mess up investigation or evidence). They certainly don't want to risk bad publicity!

Dissenters downmarseyd and deleted:

The police conversation will go like this.

You: I think my drink was spiked at this bar. I felt dizzy and many other symptoms.

Police: you were drinking alcohol and you want the police to consider your judgement on "being drunk normally?"

Do you have any proof of this? I suggest not going to places you have bad experiences in. Just don't go there.

If I tell my boss your story and tell him I'm assigning police resources to this I risk being terminated.

You'd be dangerous if you could read. They ordered non alcoholic drinks.

You're part of the problem. Do better or find another profession.

Odds that "as a policeman" is also fake? :marseynoyou:

A sober person would know immediately that there was something drastically wrong with their drink and then not drink it.

People don't realize that drugs TASTE LIKE SHIT. If you put a cap of GHB in someone's drink, they are 100% going to know.

Bartender probably made alcoholic drinks by accident. They look at the ticket, it says margherita N/A or whatever but its busy and they just see the margherita part.

You ordered non alcoholic drinks and you felt weird after drinking it. Its alcohol

Margarita is a drink

Margherita is a pizza

Not always. When mixed with liquids, robypnol is odourless, tasteless and colourless. Ghb can be easily masked, particularly if someone has been eating salty food as it tastes slightly salty or it can taste like the glass hasn't been rinsed properly.

Unfortunately, simply thinking you can taste a spiked drink will not protect you

That's right, roofies are undetectable, but you should believe everyone who noticed being roofied!

I don't think my drink was mixed with alcohol because my symptoms were too severe. Granted, I am 19 and haven't drank yet (want my actual first drink to be on my 21st birthday) so I don't really know what it feels like
