Handed Drink as Freshman, Don't know what it was

<p>As a general rule of thumb like others have said pour your own drinks or at the least watch them being poured. It’s rare but roofies and GHB are real so you have to be careful. You didn’t have anything strange in your drink, it was just a beverage that they were giving out to let people have a good time. It takes very little of a date rape drug to feel very strong effects.</p>

<p>On a lighter note though if you are ever leaving the “buzz” phase into full on drunkenness make sure to ask how much alcohol is in a drink lol. During my freshman year at a party I was quite drunk and I went up to the bartender and ordered a rum and coke (bartender at the house, not real bar). It turns out that the bartender was more drunk than I was and he gave me a cup of straight whiskey with a splash of coke. I didn’t even notice the difference and let’s just say that the night didn’t end well for me lol.</p>

<p>Yeah, NEVER take a drink that you aren’t sure of it’s origins. Yeah, most of the time it is fine, but you REALLY don’t want to be the rare occasion that it is not fine.</p>

<p>It’s not just that it might be roofied. With mixed drinks and mystery concoctions, you never know how much alcohol is in it. They’re more dangerous than hard liquor since you don’t think to control yourself, and some of them taste REALLY good. If you ever get gummy bears, be careful too. I’m pretty sure it’s like 1 gummy = 1 shot, but it’s so easy to eat a bunch. I had an Arnold Palmer with something like 4+ shots (s John Daly) in it (i’m a 125lb, 5’5" girl, mind you). I pretty much chugged it since I thought the guy who made the drink had gypped me (tasted like regular Arnold Palmer)… yea… no… that was a fun start to the night</p>

<p>P.S. No, i did not get drugged, i had a TRUSTED friend watch the guy pour it, i just didn’t believe her after I tasted it</p>

<p>If you want to end your drinking night early (or anyone else’s), pour yourself a Three Wise Men shot:</p>

<p>It consists of equal parts Jim Beam (bourbon whiskey), Jack Daniel’s (Tennessee whiskey), and Jose Cuervo (tequila). Or… Jim, Jack & Jose.</p>

<p>(as an aside – bourbon whiskey comes exclusively from Kentucky, in the same way that actual champagne comes only from France. Jack Daniel’s, therefore, is not bourbon. It’s a fine point but one worth noting)</p>

<p>It is just one shot, so the long-term effect will be minimal. But the short-term effect is nasty and may make you want to quit. It’s also a great prank shot to give someone on his or her birthday. hehe</p>

<p>Other nasty shots (IMO):</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Ouzo
100-proof black licorice liqueur from Greece. There was <em>one guy</em> in my fraternity who loved the stuff… so we had to do a darn “social” shot of this vile stuff at every party. It took all my powers to keep it down – absolutely cannot stand it.</p></li>
<li><p>Any hard liquor with Tabasco sauce added to it (or any other pepper sauce…)</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Jagermeister, to me, is like Ouzo toned down 50% – not great, but not awful. </p>

<p>I also remember something called a Mind Eraser, which was supposed to be pretty bad; I liked it.</p>

<p>What should you take away from this thread?</p>

<p>1) Either pour your drink yourself or watch someone else do it
2) Keep your drink with you until you are finished with it.
3) Don’t just slam drinks, beers or shots one after another, unless you are <em>certain</em> that you can handle the effects. If you are unsure, drink slowly and put 15-30 minutes between drinks, so you can gauge the effect.
4) If whatever you are drinking is just too good/too easy to drink… maybe ask for a nasty shot to bring you back to earth. Believe me, when you half-vomit it back up into your mouth, it will be a wakeup call.</p>
