Drink Spike Test

The drink spike test detects two of the most common date rape drugs; Ketamine and GHB (Gamma Hydroxybutyrate). CYD can be used with a range of different drinks wherever you are. Performing the test couldn’t be easier, with only a test strip and two drops of drink required.

Taking only seconds to produce a result, the test can be performed within any social setting, including bars, house-parties, festivals, and concerts.

Unfortunately thousands of people worldwide have their drinks spiked each year. In a YouGov poll, one in three women and one in five men knew someone who had been spiked or had themselves been spiked.

In the event of a positive result or if you or a friend start to feel strange or more drunk than expected, don’t delay in getting help. Also alert someone you trust, a friend or staff/host and get to a safe place. If necessary, or if you are in danger, contact the police. If symptoms worsen call an ambulance immediately, or ask someone to do this on your behalf.

To spike a drink means to put alcohol or drugs into a person’s drink without their knowledge or permission. Approaches vary, but commonly include one of the following:

• Slipping ‘date rape’, illegal or prescription drugs into any drink
• Adding alcohol to an alcohol-free drink
• Adding additional volumes of alcohol to an alcoholic drink

Drinks can be spiked with the intention of making a person more vulnerable to assault, rape, or theft. It has also been reported that drinks have been spiked for amusement purposes. Spiking is both dangerous and illegal, carrying a sentence of up to ten years in prison.
