Guys too
If you believed only females got knocked out by "date-rape" drugs, then think again. You have to be aware that the stuff is being used also to rob people.
Kvue.com reports about cases in Texas (Dallas and Houston) where women allegedly have targeted men at hotel night clubs and used some type of drugs to spike their drinks.
A police spokesman said that this has happened shortly after meeting them,and that the rest of the night is a blur until they find their property gone when they wake up the next morning. All of these male victims wore expensive watches, police said.
Police said these professional crooks are flirtatious, and that at least 8-cases have been reported since November 2007.

GHB
Alaska -- A female student was slipped a predatory drug at the UAF Pub and then sexually assaulted last month.
The student reported the incident on September 14 to the university police, who believe that the drug was administered while the victim was at the campus bar.
A sexual assault kit and a blood test for drugs in her system found evidence of GHB and rape, police said.
GHB, according to the RAINN Web site, is most commonly found in the form of a clear, odorless liquid. It can also be white powder.
In 2000, the DEA, along with state and local law enforcement agencies, seized 17 GHB laboratories in the United States, 10 of which were located in California, according to the Doris Tate Crime Victims Bureau (DTCVB) Web site.
Also according to the DTCVB, in 1999, drug facilitated sexual assault cases increased to nearly 23 percent of all sexual assault cases. Females made up 97 percent of the victims, the bureau says.

The common denominator
What is present in most occurrences of violence? Answer: Alcohol.
Some even call alcohol the most commonly used date rape "drug", and I tend to agree.
Did you know that research shows that 90 percent of date rapes occur when either the victim or attacker was drinking?
If you didn't then you know now, and I honestly hope you'll go easy on certain beverages! It is possible to have fun and stay safe at the same time...
