Tourists are Drugged and Victimized

There has been an increase in reports of Date Rape Drugs being used to attack unsuspecting victims. Date Rape drugs will knock you out and leave you with little or no memory of the nights events. Countless women and men have been victimized, many beaten and robbed, most raped.

In the Hillsborough Street area near North Carolina State perpetrators have been paying bartenders to slip date rape drugs into the drinks of their intended victim.

Unless you are watching the bartender the entire time your drink is prepared, the only way to know for sure your drink is OK is to test it with a test kit like the DrinkSafe drink test strips, they are available at www.collegesafe.com

Be informed about date rape drugs
Knowing about date rape drugs is becoming increasingly important as reported incidents around N.C. State are on the rise.

Heading out to the bar on a Friday night may be the ideal way to meet people, but as the presence of date rape drugs becomes a more prominent threat, it could be a dangerous way as well.

Date rape drugs, named for their ability to leave victims unconscious and easily susceptible to sexual assault, include the mixing of alcohol and other drugs like Rohypnol, GHB and Ketamine.
