The danger is not spiked drink, it’s drunkenness

Your report on spiked drinks (Irish Examiner, Mar 22) mentions two plausible studies that suggest it is much rarer than we have been led to believe.

One was a 2009 study by the University of Kent, and the other an Oireachtas Report that failed to find a single case of Rohypnol intoxication among the suspected cases of spiked drinks presented at the Rotunda Hospital.

The conclusion was that excessive consumption of alcohol was a far bigger concern.
