Consider this: your friends invite you to the club on a Friday evening to release the stress from another week of classes. Socializing and dancing sounds like an incredible plan, but you are soon hit with apprehension as you recall reading an article in the newspaper AD earlier about a rapid increase in drink spiking at local bars in your area.Poel, Claire. “Vrouwen Gedrogeerd Tijdens Avondje Stappen, Politie En Cafés Waarschuwen: ‘Let Goed Op Je Drankje.’” AD.nl, 4 Mar. 2022. Drink spiking often crosses our mind when confronted with headlines about drug-facilitated assaults and when inundated with preventative tips by relatives. In 2022, the idea of drink spiking is inescapable. Although increased consciousness is crucial, it is clear that women are tired of being instructed about preventative actions against this male conduct, reinforcing their vulnerability and increasing their stress levels. Women are forced to bear the burden of self-protection besides the fear of being spiked and assaulted, when instead the focus should be on night clubs’ regulations and addressing male conduct. Further, cases tend to go unreported due to preconceptions about (conscious) alcohol intoxication, resulting in women being sent out on the streets because their behavior as a reaction to the drugs is often confused with behavior resulting from alcohol intoxication. This causes women to get kicked out of the club due to disruptive behavior, which further subjects them to potential dangers.

A non-alcoholic drink is therefore the focus; the content of the drink prior to the incident does not dictate the chances of spiking, it could be any kind of drink.
