When secretly slipped into a beverage, even a glass of lemonade, some substances can leave anyone vulnerable to sexual assault. You may not be able to see it, smell it, or taste it. And you don't have to be at a bar or club. It can happen in any social setting. The tragic fact is that the reasons for rape have nothing to do with you.
Rape happens because there are people who wish to harm.
But, there are some precautions you can take to reduce your risk of being raped as a result of drugs. Do not leave beverages of any kind unattended. Don't accept any beverages, including alcohol, some someone you do not know and trust. At a bar or club, accept drinks only from the bartender or server. At parties, do not accept open-container drinks from anyone.
