Okay well, before going out last night one week I had about 3/4 of a 35cl of vodka and I'd eated well about two hours previously. When I went out I had two double vodkas and pretty soon after that I don't remember anything else, apart from being sick in one of the toilets. I woke up in my bed the next day surrounded by cups of water and a bucket (later found out my friends helped me to bed)
I don't understand how it could have happened as I can drink far more and not be nearly as bad. Do you think it could have just been a one off or could have been something more sinister?

Widespread spiking of drinks with date-rape drugs such as Rohypnol and GHB is an "urban legend" fuelled by young women unwilling to accept they have simply consumed too much alcohol, academics believe.

A study of more than 200 students revealed many wrongly blamed the effects of a "bad night out" on date-rape drugs, when they had just drunk excessively.

Many are in "active denial" that drinking large amounts of alcohol can leave them "incoherent and incapacitated", the Kent University researchers concluded.

Young women's fears about date-rape drugs are so ingrained that students mistakenly think it is a more important factor in sexual assault than being drunk, taking drugs or walking alone at night.

The study, published in the British Journal of Criminology, found three-quarters of students identified drink spiking as an important risk – more than alcohol or drugs.

More than half said they knew someone whose drink had been spiked.

But despite popular beliefs, police have found no evidence that rape victims are commonly drugged with such substances, the researchers said.

lol, I wish I knew who you were so I could rep you

And no, you weren't spiked, you just had too much, too quickly. "Eating well" doesn't help as much as you'd think. I've been on an empty stomach, and come home pretty sober before, and gone out on a full stomach, and come home rather drunk.

Next moron, please!

I'm not starting a war, merely pointing out that the chances of having ones drink spiked are actually very very small. In the majority of cases people just got drunk.

Yep, I understood and agree.

Can't imagine OP taking too kindly to it though.

OP is probably just a hopeful fatty

Pft. The OP drank 11-12 units more than the recommended daily amount.
Can't really be surprised about the effects of that.

Agreed, it's odd how it's always the twelfth drink that's spiked.
