A new study published in the journal Psychology of Violence shows the frightening extent of the problem. It surveyed 6,000 students from three different American colleges and found that the patterns of drink-spiking aren't what you may expect. 462 students have said that they are sure that their drinks had been spiked with Xanax, roofies or other sedatives. That's a massive 8% of respondents who claim to have had their drink tampered with on a night out. Shockingly, 83% of respondents actually admitted to spiking someone else's drink, with the number one reason cited as 'fun'. Fun. Ok. That's a normal way of thinking. The second most cited reason for spiking someone was to commit a sexual assault. In terms of the locations where the drugging took place, almost 38% of them happened at house parties. Very disturbing stuff.This story is all kinds of amazing https://t.co/6qH3XlMlhj
