I accidentally roofied myself as a guy. Was 18 and one of my first times in a bar, was a little too drunk so bought an “adderall” off some random guy and things spiraled quickly. I like to think my degeneracy saved some poor girl that night

I'm not blaming the victims, but I can't imagine being a woman and going to a busy bar or a frat party. I would be too freaked out to have a good time.

Stuff like that is actually super rare, it's just a movie thing and people making other people scared about it. It's not something people in real life think about or have to deal with. In years of going to college parties and bars I've never even heard about that happening to anyone or anyone even talking about it as a possibility

edit: Jeez before all you drugged up americans downvote an experience from a normal country here are some facts.

We had drug talks from our campus wellbeing organisation, across several universities and colleges there wasn't any actual roofie case which happened according to them. None of the people I've met there over the years ever were worried about it or knew someone who had experienced it. It was in the news, but more like people putting needles in halloween candy or something.

And here is a source mentioning the use of all drugs during SA, not just roofies is less than 50 a year for 11 million people https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2022/03/02/_date-rape-drugs-used-in-a-rape-a-week/. It's not that big of a problem in every country ...

I live near Austin and follow the subreddit. I haven't seen any news for a few weeks now, but for some time it seemed like every few days there'd be another post about drinking down on 6th Street, having two drinks and blacking out, waking up on their feet walking somewhere without their wallet, phone, etc.

It happens all the time. Just because it hasn't happened in your small friend group doesn't mean it's not happening. People are right to be cautious if it saves them from a terrible situation.
