Seriously. I work at a high-density bar, and let me tell you, I have anywhere from 10-20 guys every night come up and tell me to, “serve her a stronger drink, I’m trying to get lucky tonight, know what I mean?” usually accompanied with a wink and a gesture at a girl who, in my experience, is going to go from mildly buzzed to definitively hammered if I keep serving her. Now, I like to think I’m a responsible bartender, so I usually tell guys like that to piss off, and, if I can, try to tell the girl’s more sober friends that they need to keep an eye on her. But everyone- just so you know, most of the time, when someone you don’t know is buying you a drink, they’re NOT doing it out of a sense of cordiality, they’re buying you a drink for the sole purpose of making you let your guard down. So:Tips for getting drinks-1. ALWAYS GO TO THE BAR TO GET YOUR OWN DRINK, DO NOT LET STRANGERS CARRY YOUR DRINKS. This is an opportune time for dropping something into your cocktail, and you’re none the wiser. 2.IF YOU ORDER SOMETHING NON-ALCOHOLIC, I promise you, the bartender doesn’t give two shits that you’re not drinking cocktails with your friends, and often, totally understands that you don’t want to let your guard down around strangers. Usually, you can just tell the bartender that you’d like something light, and that’s a big clue to us that you’re uncomfortable with whomever you’re standing next to. Again, we see this all the time.3. If you’re in a position to where you feel uncomfortable not ordering alcohol:Here’s a list of light liquors, and mixers that won’t get you drunk, and will still look like an actual cocktail:X-rated + sprite = easy to drink, sweet, and 12% alcoholic content. Not strong at all, usually runs $6-$8, depending on your state.Amaretto + sour= sweet, not strong, 26%.Peach Schnapps+ ginger ale= tastes like mellow butterscotch, 24%.Melon liquor (Midori, in most bars) + soda water = not overly sweet, 21%Coffee liquor (Kahlua) +soda = not super sweet, 20%.Hope this helps someone out!Backing this up from years of bar tending.Adding to this:When I was a fresh bartender, I had a couple sitting in the corner, already drinking when I started my shift. They seemed like they knew each other really well considering how much they had their hands on one another. But I still came by and asked if they were okay. The man just waved me off while the woman said, “I need some water.”The man laughed it off and told me, “She doesn’t need any water. She’s fine.”She was not fine. Clearly. I decided I was going to cut the two off anyway and bring them some water. As I was filling up the glasses, I heard the woman say, “Stop. I said no. I don’t feel good.”Her tone and attitude changed instantly. She kept pushing his hand away when he reached for her face, turned her head away when he tried to kiss her. Loudly told him, “Stop. I’m done for tonight.”So I made sure to refill her water the moment she finished it, and I stayed within earshot of them the whole night. And every time I did, the man got mad at me, told me to leave them alone. Their friends were there, surrounding them and told me that those two always fought when they were drunk and apologized, so I relaxed a little. But the last time I refilled her drink, I heard a loud crash.She fell out of her stool and hit her head on the floor. And he calmly drank his drink. Their friends didn’t even blink. I jumped over the bar to tend to her and he just said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take her home. She always ends up like this. She drinks too much.”But it didn’t sound right. Then the woman began convulsing. I yelled for the other bartender to call 911 and when I did, the guy suddenly disappeared. I tried asking thr friends questions about him and they just blew it off as the woman being a black our drunk. And one of them said, “We’ll get her home. Don’t worry.”But when thr EMTs showed up with the police, they all disappeared too.A few days later the woman came with an attorney. She asked me and the other bartender who worked before me some questions. Turns out, she didn’t know any of those people. They weren’t her friends or her boyfriend. They had met that night, when the guy asked her if he could buy her a drink. At the hospital, they found traces of Rohypnol in her system. The guy had Roofied her. And his friends were in on it. The security camera footage showed he had put something in her drink when she left for the bathroom before my shift. So seriously, it happens. You have to be careful with your drinks! Always watch it, don’t let anyone handle it, and take it with you wherever you go–even the bathroom. Or if you’re a regular at that bar, ask the bartender to put it behind the bar. We’ll do it.Rb for that last add, don’t ever worry about being polite! Protect urself! REBLOG AND SPREAD THE WORD! I feel like EVERYONE should know this, even if you don’t drink.View this post on Instagram, it shows how easy it is for someone else to slip something into your drink, even if you’re the one holding itA post shared by Mel | Renaissance Womanhood (@renaissancewomanhood) on Aug 26, 2020 at 7:49am PDTAnd don’t worry about being polite.If someone at a bar is giving you shit, yell I SAID NO as loud as you can. SOMEONE will hear.Wow. I never knew that. Honestly a good test right there: Ask to get anything else.
