€1.50 test kit can check if your drink has been spiked

The head of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre is backing the use of a novel product that will be available in pubs soon.

The €1.50 product, Test Your Drink, is a small kit that contains six sheets of test spots that you can dip into your drink to test for date-rape drugs such as GHB and ketamine.

Anyone who consumes these drugs as a result of having their drink spiked will go into a deep, unconscious state and have disrupted memories.
