TD: Beware of drink-spiking

FESTIVE revellers were yesterday urged to be extra-vigilant about the risk of their drinks being spiked in pubs and nightclubs.

Sedative drugs such as GHB and Rohypnol — which are odourless, colourless and tasteless — can incapacitate victims and wipe their memories.

The Government’s deputy chief whip Billy Kelleher yesterday said that seasonal socialising gives ample opportunity to those who poison drinks with such dangerous drugs.
